The story is really intriguing - a small boy is murdered and his younger sister seeks answers/revenge/information. Instead the story is wordy with too much description and too much focus on non-main characters, without enough focus on people like the mother, sister, etc.Without giving anything away, the ending was disappointing to me, but perhaps wouldn't be to others. It got really slow moving at the end, and I wanted the book to be over with about 150 pages left.
