I did figure out the whodunnit aspect of this book about 25% of the way through. However, I loved watching the characters piece it together and the other characters unravel. This book, also put me through nearly every emotion. I was uncomfortable, I was sad - like legit shed a couple tears, I was angry, I was nervous. This was like reading an episode of Law and Order: SVU. It was also definitely written in an era where we didn't feel the need to put trigger warnings on everything, so if you get triggered easily please read with caution. I am a big shock factor girly though and this hit the nail on the head with shock factor for me.
If you follow me you can see that part of my requirement for a 5 star rating is if I would like it to be made into a TV show or a movie. There is already a TV show that follows the main character (if it follows certain books of the series I do not know as I have yet to watch it). However, this specific book in the series does deserve it's own movie and frankly, I'm kind of bummed that only a TV show was made.

It's unrelentingly bleak, hard and with never even a glimmer of hope or happiness.
Excruciatingly detailed with fully-fleshed out characters (and then some, honestly) and a blindsiding twisty and clever plot, I should have enjoyed this more. I simply felt myself, my mood dragged down while reading it. It will be worth a second venture when I'm more mentally prepared for the type of material.
