Whoever has written the synopsis of this book is a criminal because I’m 170 pages into it and there is no murder to mystery over. I’m loving it, but the target audience has been missed I fear

First chapter: religious cult vibes. Second chapter: scathing political satire. It should also be a murder mystery. If this doesn’t become one of my favorite books of all time I’ll be. So sad.
