i enjoyed the book and for a slow-paced book it went by faster than I thought. i have mixed feelings about the book because it wasn't at all what I expected for some reason, - It felt like this was more of a character-driven book than a good murder mystery where the murder was just a subplot in a way - the book surprised me in the way that when I thought about reading it initially thought i waa gonna DNF it and not enjoy it.
