3.0

this is not my usual genre but i decided to try it out and im glad that i did! although not my new favorite book, it was engaging and i had to keep reading to find out the outcome of the investigation. however, i was hoping that there would be slightly more plot. it is a character driven book but at times i found myself getting bored of the constant tension and wishing they would get to the point.
