I have mixed feelings about this one. I enjoyed the book for the most part but I am walking away mostly confused. I dont know if I just slept through the last 15% of the book or missed something early on but the resolution of the murder didnt make sense to me. The reveal of who Loubet was didnt really hit home as a shock twist and the wrap out of everything felt really rushed. It just felt like the murder plot was a vehicle for the character study that was being developed throughout. Which isnt a bad thing but when I come to a murder book im expecting something a little more murdery
