THIS IS NOT A THRILLER. That is a marketing error but does not take anything from the book. Instead think about it as a character study about fucked up people and how they grieve in the wake of a murder.
With amazing prose and overlapping stories this is an amazing novel and thrives I’m the character based plot it creates I could get lost, happily hate, like, sympathize, and empathize with that characters and is a interesting view on how people view a dead girl and how they are desperate to stop the killer even if it just means pointing fingers.

An interesting read; while it certainly dragged in the middle part, it still somehow managed to keep me intrigued. The main reason for this was probably the truly outstanding writing, since the plot is not advanced at all until the very end, where the big reveal takes place. But the solving of the murder took a backseat anyway throughout the book - this is a character study masked as a thriller, and it explores some really interesting topics. However, do not go into this expecting a fast-paced mystery thriller, because it's not that at all.
