I will say, there is a lot going on. I had a long break in the middle when I had to return the book and wait for my turn again, and when I finally got it back I needed a big refresher on characters and motives.
Would have given it a full 5 for entertainment and surprise, but there were a few times where the author commented on some of the female characters physical appearance a little too much and in a way that felt kind of gross. Not sure how to explain, just very male gaze-y, and I didn't like it. Also the whole thing with the cop writing limericks felt off to me. Of course
There is also a sequel, which I will probably read because the book does end off on a big cliff hanger.
There is one graphic description of violence against an animal, but it is skippable and does not affect the story line.
