2.0

Found this book promising as the start, as I find the writing style easy to read and quite nice. However, I rated this 2* instead of 3* because I just feel like they introduce one storyline thats actually interesting, and push it aside for a totally different case? I just feel like this book turned into pure filler, and the author decided they wanted to talk about syrian refugees and IRA bombings more than they wanted to talk about the murder/rape of the hairdresser they started out with. Found the characters quite annoying as well- somehow Karen knows everyone, and is allowed to get away with stealing, breaking into people's houses, etc,etc. Overall, it was okay, just didn't focus on the interesting storylines, mixed with average characters and was mostly filler/drama.
