I particularly liked the handling of nontraditional relationships involving both main characters as well as several of the supporting cast.
The story has several moments of extreme violence, including sexual violence, which are that much more shocking because they punctuate long sections of very slowly building tension as the main characters do detective work to solve what seems at first like the coldest of cold cases.
The author manages to wrap up a hugely tangled mess of threads and characters into something that is satisfying in the end, but never so much so that it gets wrapped into a perfect happy ending.

- I never read mystery but this was actually very good!
- Â definetly was a good book to make into a movie cause the dialogue in the book feels like a movie script.
