The first chapter grabbed my attention, but I found the rest to be a little slow paced. Although each of the characters get a lot of time on paper, I just couldn’t connect or care for any of them. The tone was to be a sad, full of grief, but it was written in such a sterile way that the emotion just wasn’t there (not for me anyway).
I plodded through it, but it came close to ending up in the DNF pile. A shame because the storyline, though a bit unbelievable, is pretty good. This could have been a thrilling mystery mixed with romance, grief and family dynamics, but it misses the mark in a disappointing way.
Or maybe I read this at the tail-end of a slump and am a little grumpy that it has overshadowed the 5 star book I recently read that got me out of it. I feel like I’m in quicksand and hope this book doesn't pull me back into that slump
