Best mystery of the year so far, though I’ve only read one other mystery in 2019, oops. It took a little while for the plot to really get going, and it was a little methodical at points, but overall it was really engrossing and I like how Johnson weaved the two time periods together. I also think the ending was a bit too abrupt, but I can’t fault such an interesting cliffhanger.
