This book is stressful, frustrating and exhausting to read.

You know those people who have to micromanage everything but they're terrible at it so even though they're constantly busy they never seem to get anything done? This book is like a window into such a person's mind. It's a nightmare. I wanted to tell the protagonist to stop, take a moment, pick one thing to focus on and get it done. Because the entire book she's rushing from one half-finished task to another - and very few conversations go uninterrupted.

On top of that, the mystery gets almost no focus and my reaction to finding out who the killer was was "Wait, who is that?" There are too many characters and they are not distinct enough. Aside from the protagonist almost no one is fleshed out at all. And the protagonist's confusion and lack of focus is very much reflected in the way the book is written so, just as she has trouble figuring out who anyone is, so did I.
