Two stars might be harsh for a book that wasn’t terrible. But 92 pages in I wasn’t hooked yet. I felt a bit too confused at why I was following two different main characters, one of whom had so much going on I was sure something in her storyline would hook up with the other one eventually I just didn’t care enough to keep waiting for it. There also seems to be an odd pace to the writing, which honestly might just be too British to resonate with me. It didn’t read as charming like a Jaqueline Winspear, or colorfully matter of fact like a Ben Aaronovitch. More, maybe stilted? I couldn’t hear the voice of it.
