This was very much not my cup of tea. I found it crude in ways it really didn't need to be. I never connected with the story or the characters. Even the mystery didn't really pique my interest.

I was hoping for more of a murder mystery but this turned out to be a wonderfully complex immigrant story and had me hooked.
