2.75 Hard to push through story.

Frustrated with the plotting and prose. There were far too many characters which made the story hard to follow at times. If it were not for it being a buddy read, I would have DNF'd the book three chapters in. Dodo's story caught me and helped me to finish. I do not know why there were so many subplots and how that was suppose to benefit the story. I was not sure he McBride would ever get back to the mystery in the beginning. The pacing was uneven, which made it hard to stay engaged. Overall, this is not a book that I would reach for again.
