Holly Gibney is once again an interesting character because of her imperfections. The COVID context makes the book enjoyable, with issues raised both in general and concerning the system and the investigation. 
The chapters are disjointed at first, but the dates are always indicated, which helps the reading. The plot is interesting and takes its time without becoming too long, making this book a pleasure to read.
