Not a huge fan. I was really bored through the entirety of the book. I did not connect with any of the characters, and I just really wanted it to end.

I typically really enjoy crime mysteries, however I feel this fell flat in a few ways. There were so many characters and I never really felt connected to any of them. I found myself forcing my way through this book, even though I didn’t particularly care about the resolution. However, if you enjoy super detailed day to day tasks around solving a crime this book is for you. It just felt a little too on the nose; everything was written exactly as it was happening with little to no flair to the writing.

I was really interested I the idea of a ritualistic behaviour unit, yet having hot to the end of the first book in the series, I don't think I'm any the wiser.
This definitely felt like it was setting up a series with some predictably clichéd characters.
A lot of these characters fit moulds I've seen many times.
However, I read it in a few hours, it was interesting enough to keep me turning pages.
There were some slightly grim scenes that made me sit up straighter wincing.
Our main character has potential to be very interesting.
A mixed bag for sure.
