The protagonist is believable but makes questionable choices and some of the other characters were so paper thin I had to go back in the book to figure out who they were and why they were in the present scene.
And yet…it’s highly readable and will only take a day or so to finish being so compelling with a mystery that unfolds well paced and with a nice
I hear the book is being fitted for a tv series so that should tell you something about the quality (good) and strength (excellent) of the writing.
