  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I didn't realise this was the second in a series until it was written in the author note at the end. 
Can easily be read as a standalone - I felt everything was easily explained (if not in a ham-fisted way), there was no confusion over characters' previous relationships or histories. 

I really enjoyed the narrative, but the author(s)' inclusion of interspersed chapters
in the mind of the killer
reduced much suspense:
especially as our protagonists soon learn all of this information regardless.

Only the final twist came as a surprise.
