I actually really enjoyed this story at the start. I was intimidated, to say the least, but I quickly felt eased into this story. However, as time went on I quickly started to realize that this story was dragging. So many inner monologues and thinking to themselves and I just was bored to death with some of the pieces of this story. I did audiobook this and I honestly fell asleep a few times and still felt like I didn't miss much of anything. The buildup to the murder and directly afterwards were enthralling pieces of the story. The rest didn't grip me as well. Even the last chapter felt overblown...I just kept wondering what more could be said now. Had this not been a challenge read, I would have not finished it. I'm glad it's over!
