Brad W. (bewilbered) reviewed on 2/9/2021 + 36 more book reviews

The first 150 pages of this novel feel very much by-the-numbers, and despite its major award, it suffered by comparison with Sujata Massey and Abir Mukherjee, etc. But if you start to get bored, and I agree with Cathy C. that you might, stick with it because the book takes some very surprising turns, goes into satisfying emotional territory, and capitalizes well on all the groundwork laid in the beginning. Rewarding read ... eventually.
