The beginning was good, I was really hooked, but I just got to a part where he hadn't talked about the investigation for a long while and I found I didn't want to listen to random facts about random people in the police department...

I don't know enough to start for the quality of the content in this book, but I absolutely loved the audiobook. It was so nice and relaxing, felt like listening to sir David Attenborough!

I've thought about this book a lot since finishing it, and I still can't seem to figure out how I feel about it... I like the author's choice for the perspective through which the story is told, because it gets the point of the book across the most efficiently... but it's also a perspective I don't enjoy reading. So I think the intention of the story itself was great, but the reading experience wasn't that great

My opinion of the different books are so varied it was difficult to rate this, but the last four books felt never-ending and I wasn't invested at all
