The book started off so fun, it was almost like watching an action movie. However due to its racism and misogyny and the weird Tarzan-Jane like dynamic between the main couple I couldn't enjoy this fully.

Spoiler

Also Anne saying that the killer is nice???? What???? She had some serious issues. I also felt like the whole "I'm not Lucas I'm Harry" thing was pointless.

Note--aside from the racism & colonialism regular in British lit of the era, uses the G slur for Traveller people as a nickname for a character.
