Probably a 3.5. The prose are great and there’s some time jumping such as you might expect with the person who wrote True Detective, but it isn’t quite as well implemented. The story starts off very tropey and throws one curveball but most of the pleasure is in the prose.

You can pretty much tell how the story will end despite a time jump that both relieves some tension and sets up something new, not quite nailing it, and the middle drags slightly. Feels like a writer still trying to figure out what they like about structure and what they really have to say.
