I'm so glad I stuck with this book and finished it. In the beginning, I almost put it away for being too gloomy for a January read. I usually can't read anything with children being hurt, so I was relieved to see this story was about so much more than the murder of a family. A lot of time was well-spent on the writing process of Tom Huston as a means of the protagonist DeMarco's attempts to solve the crime, but not in the usual pretentious ways. The story wrapped up in a way that I appreciated without feeling overly optimistic. Even the twist surprised me, and I usually can spot a twist. This book required a lot of patience on my part, but I'm glad to say I made it to the satisfying end. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
