I agree with most reviews because everyone’s reviews are near enough the same. It is slow paced somewhere, it can feel to go on and on: but the short chapters make it readable and it is a great read. It took me a long time to read as it wasn’t captivating enough for me, but still mysterious enough for me to not put the book down and give up. 
It is a great book though. 
I only wish that Gretchen and him got together and that the ending was more dramatic: the reveal of the murderer was slipped into the story so easily I was kinda shocked it wasn’t built up more. And when we found out how Ellie died, I wanted her father to go down for that murder and it was like he got away with it and everything he did to Falk after. 
Nice read though, good story line, just too long and too stretched out.
