I liked the mystery atmosphere of this book, where Roma and Juliette worked together and the romantic tension between them.
However I felt the mystery was a little slow going to be investigated and the politic scenes with the individual characters could get very dry sometimes. The most interesting parts were when Roma and Juliette were together or Roma's trio because they're quite comical.
However I was confused with Kathleen's story, it didn't explain it very well but from what I gathered she was trans? Still very confused and I think they could've explained it better!
I did get very invested with the characters and the twist at the end was surprising! Overall a really good book, would reccomend.
