“What is there to even say? This is only getting 2 stars because I haven’t read enough books to know if this is truly bottom of the barrel and deserves 1 or is just bad.
It took 100 pages to figure out the suicide was actually a murder, and another 170 to figure out the autopsy was wrong and he died differently than originally thought. Maybe worse than anything else, it took another 30-40 pages after that for them to realize the camera downtime was 70 minutes, rather than 60. No one bothered to check? No one bothered to do the absolute basics of an investigation for 300-310 pages?!
Finally, 381 pages later we’re left with absolutely no good wrap up, other than learning that three of the main characters knew what happened the entire time, hid it and just watched Helt run around in circles for fun. After which, Helt just said ya’ll are forgiven, not being kicked off the ship, we’ll do a vote of confidence later so you might lose your executive roles. Zero consequences! Zero purpose behind 381 pages of text, with so little being said in so many words the entire time. I don’t need to hear that the walls of the canyon are amber and shadowed for the 80th time! What a slog.”
