Solid mystery novel- I really enjoyed reading this and it kept me wanting to keep going back to it. Definitely an adult book as far as some of the darker themes and the types of violence it describes, but overall a good read. My only criticism is that its a tiny bit convoluted, but I enjoy the writing style where every chapter is a new character's inner monologue- it almost makes you feel like you're solving the mystery alongside the detective.

Messy plot and it has massive plot holes. Characters make all possible bad decisions and the motivations are all over the place. Enjoyable though, excellent for sleepless nights or beach days.
On the bright side, it reads as a stand Alone. You don't need to read the previous book "The Family Upstairs" to pick up the story.
