The story follows several characters,  none of which is a reliable narrator. No character development. One of the characters is a crime fiction novelist who is criticized for jumping around from character to character,  and for going back and forth in the timeline. It seems the author is trying to preempt criticism on this front, and it smacks of self-aggrandizement. I didn't really care about any of the characters, and the victim had it coming.

I probably wouldn't read another book by this author.
