Review title: A bit painful to get through
Product review: I read "The Innocent" by the same author and really enjoyed it so I had high hopes for this novel. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Without giving too much away I found myself skimming pages just trying to get to the end and seriously considering giving up on the book all together. I think the main issue is so much time is spent on the villans in the story you begin to genuinely dislike them and I found myself frustrated with having to hear about these characters who were so despicable. I will say it's an easy read and given it is a mystery and there are a few twists and turns (so many that it was a bit cliche) so maybe that will be entertaining for some readers but overall I found it annoying and frustrating.
