    Eh. Maybe not my genre, maybe I'm not the target audience. It's a shame because the writing is quite good, and the audiobook narrator was great. Cosby was able to conjure up fantastic visuals, and some (some) of the dialogue was very witty. However, it often felt condescending. The type of person who needs to read this book likely wouldn't read past the first couple of chapters, so the 'lessons' it imparted felt clunky and weird. Some of the plot points just, made no sense. I felt like the reader was just being moved along from scene to scene for the same of wrapping everything together. And I did NOT enjoy having everything revealed in a clunky way by seeing the POV of the villains. I found this boring and unnecessary. And sometimes it's best to reveal things slowly. I'm not annoyed I read it. Like I said Cosby's writing is decent. But I don't think I'll be picking up anything like this again.
