Helpful Score: 2

I should've loved this book. It has many ingredients I usually love in a book: connected story-lines, multiple viewpoints, mystery, plot twists, but something seemed to be missing. I didn't dislike the book, but I didn't love it. I liked the writing style and the plot kept me guessing until the end. I think the main issue for me was the characters. I didn't like any of them, nor were any of them interesting enough to hate. My other main complaint is that the historical parts didn't connect well with the modern mystery. It seemed like they were just plopped it to make it more interesting, but not necessary to the plot. There are so many stories going on that they end up not being developed enough. I think it would've been better to just focus on three or four characters. A good book, that could have been great.
