I found the book compelling until the final 10% or so after the mystery wraps up. The biggest issue for me was finding every single character wildly unlikeable - and not in interesting or charismatic ways where you root for them anyway. They were annoyingly selfish or gullible to me. To be fair to the author, I do think these flaws made sense for the characters and were all very human, but it made reading an unpleasant experience for me.
