Thanks for that! I can only recall the beginning up until the cuff links and bits and pieces here and there, guess I’m confusing the info with the podcast I listened to after I had read this book.

100% this, it was given such a high praise that when I was reading it I was wondering if I picked up the wrong novel. I understand including her background to give context to who she is and how she came about helping to solve the crime, but I felt like it was 90% about her and 10% about the crime and victims. I’m pretty sure I finished it but I think I dissociated as I was reading it because I can’t remember, but I believe it’s the same all throughout.

Edit: she didn’t help solve the crime, my bad. Obviously it wasn’t memorable and more teeth pulling since I can’t remember too much of it
