I had the good fortune to read this book as an ARC from NetGalley. Now, I have to admit that the first quarter of the book really dragged and there are some parts of it that I don't feel were needed for the story to reach the end point. For me, overall the story was really slow paced and then took off running at full steam to try and tie everything up in the last 10% of the book.
The book was a lot more telling me the story than showing the story which made it difficult to connect with the main character. There were twists towards the end that were honestly expected and foreshadowed from the beginning.
Ultimately, it was a good book and if you like slow paced mystery with obvious twists then this is the book for you.
