it was ok

There were couple good things in this novel; it was fast-paced which is always good and slightly unpredicable at times.

The writing was mediocre, almost bad. I found myself becoming frustrated with the "third person" style narrative. It had a strange third-person narrator that jumped around perspectives, "Anne thought Marco had done it. Marco was worried Anne now suspected him. The detective watched the couple, sensing the tension between them."

When the narration is something the reader repeatedly thinks about, it's probably not a good thing.

There was not one likeable character, not one. It's hard to get excited about a book when you really don't care what happens to the characters. As for the plot, it wasn't anything new or special.
