I have seen many mixed reviews of this book so I wasn't sure what to expect when I started it. I fall into the category of "I really liked it"! I was not entirely expecting the outcome, but I can't say what I was expecting without giving anything away, sorry. The pace was perfect, moved along quickly but gave enough detail and character development so you got a good feel for everyone and were able to have feelings on things that were happening to them. I really liked the information on missing Indigenous women at the end; I have been learning more and more about this phenomena and am hopeful that there will be more coming to light to find these women and bring them some justice and their families some closure. This was my first Chevy Stevens and will not be my last, I like her style and didn't find her to be gory or gross, at least not gratuitously.
