The first half of the book was very captivating and intriguing. But after Ted's death, the story just went downhill with an abrupt ending. I also didn't like that women were overly sexualized. The detective writes highly inappropriate limericks (that doesn't move plot forward or anything), and I hated that character.
Moderate: Child abuse and Murder
