I enjoyed the mystery aspect of this novel, though I felt like the book ended without uncovering a significant part of the mystery. The pacing was also a bit off; everything moved slowly in the beginning, then careened at breakneck speed for the latter half. A more substantial epilogue would have been helpful to tie up a few loose ends. I did appreciate how the stories were interwoven, so you got to see multiple viewpoints throughout the book. Knowing things before the FMC did added to the suspense I felt while reading. 

Sidebar: the scene in prison with the sex worker was deeply unsettling to me despite the lack of graphic details. It reeked of rape and felt purposeless, as it didn’t add anything to the plot or character development. (And besides, I thought we’d learned by now that sexual assault as a plot advancer is unnecessary and gross.) We already knew this guy was bad news; we didn’t need to add nonchalant sexual assault to the list of crimes!
