Sometimes I wonder if it's the book or me - maybe I shouldn't be reading anything when it's the first week of school for half the people in this house (but none of the ones able to stay home by themselves). Maybe expecting anything from anything other than an old favorite is unfair.
Or maybe this book just took a while to actually catch my attention. Sometimes the "these people are murderers, please start caring about them" is a higher bar than I'm necessarily ready to clear.
Once the non-assassin parts of the plot got going, I was more into it, but I had a hard time getting into the mindset of the book's morality.
Audiobook was excellent, though.
