The book was very interesting and I liked the way it was formatted with the epq's. The only thing I found tedious was how the eventual reveal was written over so many chapters. It was a little bit too drawn out and then a sudden finish at the end. After we found out that Elliot killed S, I felt we should have been told faster how Andi Bell was killed as it seemed like the tone was 'oh well happy days' and only Ravi and Pippa cared which is highly unrealistic.
