It was a confusing ass plot and so many characters I couldn't differentiate. ACAB.
Apparently the book is the start of a series and this stood fine on it's own. I won't be reading another.

This was a heavy book, lots of really horrible things uncovered about the police force and the children of the area going back decades all for our Cormac to discover and solve. Honestly by the 2/3rds point I wanted to stop after finding out the why of the decades old mystery but I was invested and needed to know how things tied into the current mystery. Also, there was the unwanted pregnancy of dead lover trope that I hate every time it's in a story. Like there wasn't enough already going on.
