one of the worst crime books i’ve read so far. none of the characters were likeable, all arrogant and annoying in their own way. story’s super flat, i wasn’t intrigued to know what happened at any point. when the storys finally cleared up, it happens so fast & with a weird motive… or better said, motive's okay BUT for it to work, you'd have to focus more on the dynamics between the characters, which wasn’t the focus at all. couldn’t even tell you what the focus in the book even was… bored the hell out of me.
