This was one of those I wish I could've enjoyed more because it started off being enjoyable, entertaining, and was very descriptive in nature.However, as it proceeded to gain traction it lost the original momentum and slowed to a pace that was creeping with a 'falling into place' plot that didn't make me want to really become more involved or even follow along having lost my interest.
The premise was good but as other bloggers noted: the basic elements of surprise weren't involved since we already learned in introductions that the boyfriend would be killed, that corruption and public private partnerships were about to be exposed, with a South American involvement would be coming.
With this noted the plot became tedious, time consuming, and exhaustive in the later stages and for that I couldn't truly appreciate the author's intent.
If you're someone who wants a plot that makes perfect sense you will find it's subjective but in my terms it was missing here.
Much of what happens made absolute zero sense with encrypted messages sent to recipients unable to process such messages, Hector's father missing welder's skills but working in such a setting, or the fact that a person shows up from Chile in the exact location where the detective would be as if they simply landed there without reasoning.
I guess murder is on the minds but the way in which we get to it was a rough patch.
Thank you to Bibliotheca for this E-Read in exchange for this honest review.
