I really enjoyed this book, but it was definitely let down with the suggestion it may be cosy and warm. This was a smart, political and daring book, but it rarely let the reader have a moment to be anything other than unsettled. The murder in this book is possibly the least chilling type of crime which takes place. It kept me on my toes and on the edge of my seat but didn't quite feel like a warm hug.
