Unfortunately, this one is a DNF for me and I'm sad because with how the Fabled Bookstore talked about it in their preview, I thought it would be right up my alley. 

This was just moving way too slow, the chapters are too long, there were too many characters introduced, and nothing had really happened beyond the initial disappearance of a woman that worked on a plantation. 

I made it to chapter four and at that point the detective hadn't learned anything new at all. In fact we learned more about his past than anything to do with the actual crime. For such a short book, it was going nowhere.
