Slow and very predictable book. The story has nothing new to offer. To my taste the characters lacked some depth, even though the author tried very hard to give them back stories I think she did not accomplish what she aimed for. I found it so interesting how the characters kept missing clues and information, and I guess it was on purpose, so the author could keep the book going, which is not always good.
I read a translation, not the original language in which the book is written, not sure if it was the translator's fault, or if the author really writes like that, but hated the way it was written, there's so many words that are so repetitive and posh words that no one uses, almost feels like this book was written with the intention for it to become a tv series one day. 
I saw the author has published many more books since this one, from the experience I got from this one I won't be reading another book from her, but I hope she has improved since this book was published. And that she also has overcome her fatphobia

There are several instances in which the main character mentions dieting, needing to lose weight, etc. to simply look better; it was triggering for me, she at one point mentions that restricting at one time of the day means she can eat later

Check CW for this one.

A good solid mystery for the first in a series. I was gifted book 2, so reading this was prep work for reading that one.

There were a lot of characters to keep track of for the first 1/3 of the book, until I could keep track of who they all were and how they connected to each other. 

I enjoyed the pacing and all the twists and turns the story took. I did not enjoy some of the shame-y descriptions of the characters.

I liked the story a lot and it was very well pointed. I really liked the style of writing and storytelling. He was very readable and ran at a brisk pace. However, I must say that some lines of the story did not, in my opinion, end properly.

dark mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

I’m not sure what to give as a starred review but I will tell you that the style of this book frequently aggravated me; the characters would find new information and go, hmm, that’s interesting, and the readers wouldn’t get to know the information for potentially dozens of pages. I know why it was done, but it still annoyed me. And there were so many threads that in the end I still had a few questions that were answered in the book but I no longer remembered after so much else had happened. But maybe that’s just me and my bad memory and slow reading.
