Okay, there is slow-paced and then there is this book. The last three hours were really difficult to get through.  Nevermind the huge suspension of disbelief with the whole look-alike storyline. 

Still, I liked the idea and the emotional engagement the story provides.

This was the second time the author pulled the 'well I guess this person is just a psychopath' card. That was kind of lazy. And the murderer... it was the gay guy because the other guy was bi and he was jealous but it was just alluded to and never discussed? Sigh.
