I went into this thinking it would be good based on reviews I'd seen, unsure if it would be for me since my experience with thrillers are limited. I ended up really liking it! And it is so brilliant. The way history is weaved into the mystery (even more than what's explicitly discussed) was next-level and it speaks to so many different issues at once. I'm not sure how I felt about the romance

(apart from the fact that I was shocked and appalled when there was NO HANDWASHING after we'd established that this man had grave dirt under his nails 👀... someone please tell me I just missed something there)

, but what I did really love was how the community was written! 

I will say, there are some things I wondered about in regards to Theo's character (it seems like he has more unpacking to do and only some of that was really laid out in the text). 

But overall, I was really impressed and I loved it.
