When I picked it back up, I read the last 400 pages in 2 nights as I was invested in how the mystery unravelled itself.
A few brief parts describing the women characters,especially as viewed by others, are written from the perspective of the male gaze and didn't seem to really add value to the characters. Unless the purpose was to call out one of the underlying themes of misogyny throughout the book.
The story does remind me why I love a good mystery though.
