I could not finish this book because it was beating around the bush a lot. I understand that murder mysteries can be complex, but as a reader, and unlike an Inspector/Detective, I am not obliged to find the murderer, and keep working on a case more than its necessary. This could be a better mystery and I am sure readers must have enjoyed it but I am short of patience and cannot keep trying to like a book that is mostly irrelevant dialogues between people who are not even deserving to be a suspect.

I tried to like this book, I even liked Tate initially but he was too involved in others and in his own mind so I decided to let go of this one.
