I know that this book and this author are highly regarded but I don't connect enough with the characters enough to care about which of them is guilty. That opinion hasn't changed despite being almost halfway through the book.

Have you read the previous books in this series in order? It's a series with a lot of ongoing character development and this book is the culmination of many things that began in earlier books. FWIW, this particular book is one of my favourites.
