2.0

Intense fatphobia throughout. And the author spends way too much time on the trauma experienced by certain characters, to the point where it feels like she's just sensationalizing something unspeakable.

Murder of father. Introduces Lynley and Havers. Roberta, Gillian. Felt blindsided by abuse. Solid mystery series start.

2.75

I'll probably read a few more in this series to see if it grows on me, but this wasn't really my type of mystery. The characters were engaging, and I think it was more them than the plot that kept me reading, since I was only mildly curious about the resolution.

Also, if you're at all into fat activism, this is definitely not a pleasant read.
