There are a few reasons why I found this book a disappointment. The main one being that it was more of a cliched procedural than a thriller. The unreliable female narrator feels overdone, as does having all intolerable characters (yes, even Matilda). Only one of the plot twists came as a surprise to me. 

Overall, dry and bogged down with detail and boring development.
