Very enjoyable, I found it a bit slow to start with but that may be due to my unfamiliarity with the genre and did not find out off-putting. I would recommend!

Content Warnings

Moderate: Infidelity and Murder

Minor: Child abuse, Death, Drug use, Suicide, Torture, Violence, Blood, Grief, Car accident, and Injury/Injury detail

Not much graphic detail is involved so should be okay if you are a bit squeamish. On Child Abuse CW:

Specifically the poisoning of a child to the point of illness.

On Torture CW: It is mentioned somewhat often in the context of news reports, and the thoughts of the protag but not explored in a lot of detail. On Suicide CW: The method is mentioned but more attention is on the grief following it.
