I started this for book club and really had a difficult time getting into it - during book club 4 of the nine had to go back and reread a portion because they thought they skipped a chapter (they didn’t) I always finish the book club picks even if it is after book club - but nothing discussed gave me any reason to continue and actually supported the reason to dnf

The obsession with underground bunkers and this book. Unloveable characters. The more I read the more I learn about books I enjoy. I don’t enjoy rich people lives and their drama. I love a good murder mystery, this isn’t it.

I enjoyed this, but it felt unfinished. The plot is great and the storytelling is such that you’re deeply invested in finding out whodunit, but the ending is abrupt and lacks deeper explanation.
