This book shot out the gate at a solid 4. At some point about a hundred pages in I realized there was lots of narrative, and almost no dialogue. That old writing adage “show, don't tell” - alas, this one is all tell, no show. Then, three fourths in, we get to the legal case, which is absolutely impossible with zero evidence but anyway, and the book slows to a crawl. I almost didn't finish it. I did skip ahead then force myself to go back. But damn this book started out fantastic then died a painful slow awful death in my arms. The last 30 pages took me 3 days to read. I could say so much more but I won't.
