Like Lessons in Chemistry, which I also read this month, this author signaled "bad" characters by their looks. Ladies, describing someone as having a "hooked nose" to indicate bad characters or villainy is racist. I'm sure you weren't even aware you did that, but someone on the editing team should have called it out. In this book, that and some boring dialog sections made me want to rate it with less stars, but the beginning and end of the book were better than the average debut.
