2.5

characters are interesting but Writing feels confused. for half the book you think it’s about the neighbors brothel but then it shifts to a person attacking women. Kept on reading waiting for something good to happen and then the big “twist” is revealed. Payoff feels cheap because there’s no foreshadowing to let the reader speculate.
