It was so convoluted I just got confused. The timeline skipped around. He would meander into other characters who I couldn’t place. He used a characters death to rant about phones in 1930s Pennsylvania which made no sense 
I did like the main characters. But the main mystery wasn’t much and it was hard to follow
It was well written though. Good language
