Enjoyed the second half of the book a lot more, felt like it really picked up pace and as someone who loves a puzzle it was really satisfying. I think it’s one I’ll be thinking about for a long time
A little slow to begin but glad I kept going

The narrator is wonderful to listen to. She embodies the book rather than simply reading it. I’m going to seek out more books that she has narrated simply for her that is made to tell stories and be listened to.
Absolutely riveting.
