Very good! A little boring at times, but overall this book felt strong and masterful. The story was one that felt real. It was more than a detective novel as well. It also included commentary on several social issues of the time. Loved that. Overall, I liked it. While a little slow, the writing was beautiful and retrospectively a beautiful experience.
Graphic: Rape and Murder
Moderate: Sexism and Sexual violence
Minor: Blood
