nobody here but us chickens

I got this from a Goodreads giveaway.

I was so into this book when I started reading it, but by the end I just didn't care anymore. I loved the beginning, when it was just a forensic mystery, and was really excited to keep reading. Then, suddenly, it became a ridiculous (and hard to follow) reincarnation/immortality/I-don't-even-know story. That's about when it stopped holding my interest. I just didn't care about any of the characters. I wanted to find out who the Lady was, and have it be over. Except the ending wasn't satisfying. At all. So now I'm just really disappointed.
