2.5
Admittedly I'm new to the genre, but it definitely felt more like a character novel than a mystery. I'd probably rate it higher if I had been more interested in the characters.

I did not like many of the characters for most of the book, but towards the end became much more sympathetic to them. The cases were very compelling, and I did want to keep reading to find how everything worked together. Some of it was satisfying, and some of it was disappointing.
