A curious mystery. My favorite character was murdered so that derailed me quite a bit but I wanted to find out what happened to the environmental study, the egg collectors, the mine, the proposed quarry. I'm not really sure, a handful of loose ends, the murders seemed sadly happenstance and the psychotic nature of a few characters treating others with a lack of humanity disturbed me.
It was well written but brought me distress without purpose or learning so I wouldn't recommend even though I'm rating it highly for the interesting characters, good writing, and mystery..too many loose ends. Maybe I missed some details. Left feeling meh. I listened to it on audio book and re listened to the end 3 times and I'm still uncertain.
