Crime procedurals are not always my thing, especially in book form, but class commentaries are and more than anything that is what this is. A tale of wealth and power, the forms it can take, the effect it has on its surroundings, and perhaps most importantly on its children.
Moore beautifully intertwines multiple timelines and characters and kept me guessing all the way to the very end. I hurt for Barbara and Tracy and Louise and wanted to strangle every single Peter. I attached to these characters quickly and fiercely. The story was a bit long, which is my only valid reason for docking half a star. I feel it wasn't wholly necessary but it also didn't feel like Moore was dragging it along so, who knows. Maybe it actually is a 5 star read for me.
I am glad that, to me, the hype for this one feels well deserved.
