Another POV

I really liked The Whisper Man but this one is lacking in lots of ways

It is very very slow and by the halfway mark I had to ask questions: what is this actually about? where is this going?

So, it's about a long ago murder but yet it is so slow and drawn out, it's not a thriller, it's not creepy, it's not a ghost story, it's just a mystery from years ago of a murder that happened that no one realized it happened until the present day when Paul went back to see his mother who is dying

So although I see a couple of 4/5 ratings I just can't give it more than 1, it's just too slow and messy and for a long time just makes no sense, I finally had to skip and skim just over the half point to finally find out what it's actually about and I don't think it is very good at all and I think it could've been written better
