adventurous tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

Long and bloated storyline. Problematic depictions of nationalities that are not American. Pretty much all female characters or mentions of women are negative.

An outside of my typical genre read! I always enjoy puzzling through a mystery/thriller and the scope and scale of the various mysteries in this thriller were certainly engaging and impressive. 

There are some elements of the story that were really hard for me to read - check content warnings!
