Quick read, interesting set up. Felt somewhat melodramatic at times; thought Hannah's discovery was a bit too coincidental and the murder victim was overwhelmingly sociopathic. There was a lot of lusty objectification and dysfunctional misery in the characters, which made me very impatient to see at least one of them killed off (was frustrated that the murder took ages to get to)
