I would day 3.5 might have been higher if I had read vs listening. It took 20+hours to get through, and at times, I found the voice the narrator chose for some the female characters to be downright annoying (even nerve grating)--and it wasn't consistent between those female characters.

Okay, so this is a murder mystery told by a detective (Rob) who, when he was a child, was part of an unsolved mystery. In the beginning, he tells us flat out that he lies, and again repeats it towards the end of the book. I know he changed his name, and hid his past from people, but I could never figure out if there were more lies that we were supposed to discover. If so, I never did.

At times, I liked Rob, but other times he was quite apathetic. I did feel that his history has left a deep emotional rift that leaves him incapable of developing true lasting relationships.

And what the hell, did Cassie know?? Was he a psychopath?
