DNF at 50% because I am bored

An AMAZING concept, but the follow though is meh. I love a small town, dual POV, secret past, murder solving drama. But I do not care at all about these characters about 50% in. The current day POV started out good, but is spinning in circle and the characters are flat, while at the same time feeling like caricatures. The past-POV is a meh coming of age, friend betrayal story that is also dull.

Also, when comparing this to other books - how did the marketing go with ones that are full of laughs. There is not one funny or laughable or fun thing about this book.

Note: I listened to the audiobook and the narration was fine, but the story could not keep my attention.
