I almost always figure out the plot in mystery novels. This one had me saying I didn’t see that coming!

I was in the mood for a good mystery and this really delivered. Really enjoyed the detective characters and the changing POVs. Also loved that evidence was revealed slowly and that the murderer made total sense - but I didn’t guess who it was.

This book took a really long time to pick up and the ending didn't make up for the slog that was the first 75%. The plot was solid in premise, but just wasn't executed well. Too much was going on, there were too many characters and time jumps and I found that information was revealed and I had no idea why it was relevant because things were so convoluted. Ffion was a solid character (although like many books in this genre, she is way too close to the action and should definitely not be on the case), but her story got muddled with so many others' that it was hard to care about anyone. Unfortunately, despite liking Ffion, I can't say I'll be rushing to read any other books in this series.
