It took me a long while to get into this book, and almost stopped a few times, but about halfway through, I got to the point of wanting to know how the mystery is solved. The dark, noir-style writing, wasn't my favorite, and I never quite cared about the main characters, which made it hard to continue on, but by the end it was decent enough.
Wasn't the best I have read, and probably won't pick up another one from Lyndsay Faye, but I didn't hate it either, even though I originally thought I would.
