Quiet entertaining and much more character driven than your average who-done-it. This is partly due to the fact that for most of the book you don't know if a crime has even been committet, what is is and who is the victim. Instead you get a lot of backstories, a lot of skeletons coming outs og a lot of closets and a lot of stupid decisions made by a lot of deeply flawed and human people.
Loved that the chapters were read by different people depending on the POW. Entertaining but not groundbreaking.
