Not sure what I was really looking for in the first mystery novel I've read since picking up reading as a hobby again, but it was certainly not this mess of a book. Each half of the book is truly different from the other. Personally, I found the first half to be more immersive and the second to fall short. It's interesting to learn about all the different characters and their connections to the case until you realize they're two-dimensional. Even our main character lacks personality. Easily a forgettable read.
