I really enjoy Turton’s mysteries; they are always intricate and interesting, and all unique from one another. This story is dystopian/sci fi and it leans more in that direction the more you learn about these characters and circumstances. I appreciated the characterization and how each character stood out from one another, as well as Abi, the pseudo narrator that threads everyone together. I still have some questions after finishing this book but overall I feel satisfied. This conclusion to this story isn’t as complicated as his first novel (I kind of guessed the whodunit early on, though had no idea for sure or the motivation) but the aspect of memory wipes impacting the evidence is fascinating. The short story at the end of the B&N edition was a fun addition too.
