Yes, this was looong, and I was fully ready to come on here and say it was too long but damn, the ending made it worth it. While I had my suspicions (and I'm damn proud of them), I really didn't see how it all fit together until the end and that's why it needed to be that long.

I struggled with Vincent as a protagonist, while I of course rooted for him to solve the murder, he honestly just seemed like a bit of a dick in his personal life — sorry. Mina was the one who really made this work for me and I loved reading about her.

A book that dragged at times but ultimately was still a great read!
