I started this book in 2023 and stopped because I was strugglin to follow. I picked it back up in 2024 and made a real effort now. I enjoyed the story and the main characters, but I expected the story to be faster paced, considering this is about an investigation. I also got lost with all the secondary characters who were only called by their last names (like Clarke/Parks, forgot who they wefe after a while :( )
But the story was good, I enjoyed the historical aspect of it, it was easy to imagine the settings and atmosphere. By the 3/4 mark I nearly read it all in one go til the resolution.
