Very solid read — a lot of maybe predictable twists and plot points that still felt solid and satisfying despite seeing them coming . Unlike a lot of mystery books , this one didn’t have a huge chunk of exposition from 40 to 100 pages into the book. You’re thrown into it and given little tidbits of context along the way which is more how the newcomer experiences the mystery - and it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining than just having each character give you their side of the story flat out. 

You’re neutral then you like then you hate then you understand then you like a lot of these characters which is a very fun way to experience them.
