I think one of my earliest, and clearest feelings was that at the start of the read quite a number of characters are introduced and personally I didn’t feel like they stood out well, for me they were a little confusingly similar. I’m not going to overly elaborate on the plot but instead give a recap of my various feelings throughout the read. It appears to be a fairly clear cut case of accidental death except there are little irritating issues and these are compounded when a second death occurs.
