• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.0

The writing style felt awkward, presumably because English is not the author’s first language. It took some effort to overlook this and get to the solution of the mystery at the end which I thought, based on reviews I had seen of this book, would be surprising and complicated. But it definitely wasn’t!

The most obvious suspect turned out to be the culprit and there was way too much focus on the main character’s very boring personal life.

The “big reveal” fell totally flat with me and I felt almost silly for bothering to finish the book.
