Slow and very predictable book. The story has nothing new to offer. To my taste the characters lacked some depth, even though the author tried very hard to give them back stories I think she did not accomplish what she aimed for. I found it so interesting how the characters kept missing clues and information, and I guess it was on purpose, so the author could keep the book going, which is not always good.
I read a translation, not the original language in which the book is written, not sure if it was the translator's fault, or if the author really writes like that, but hated the way it was written, there's so many words that are so repetitive and posh words that no one uses, almost feels like this book was written with the intention for it to become a tv series one day. 
I saw the author has published many more books since this one, from the experience I got from this one I won't be reading another book from her, but I hope she has improved since this book was published. And that she also has overcome her fatphobia
