Long drawn out limp noodle. No plot twists, minimal surprises at the end (that are not shocking and very believable due to prior events). I felt like this book could have been edited down to 1 chapter. Many missed opportunity to throw in a twist or have the plot become twisty and thick. The only reason I kept listening through this 12hr audiobook was because I wanted to know what happened to them and then the ending was such a disappointment.

I don’t read many murder-mystery novels but this one was great! The flaws and interior lives of the characters drove the plot, and while the framing device seemed a little unnecessary, the main mystery was compelling!
