I really don't have much to say in the way of a review, which I think is the typical point of these detective series. I will say that for a white man, who I presume is cisgender and heterosexual, Spotswood does a decent job of inclusion in his works that asks for a little more from the typical genre reader. (Although, I took issue in this one with the amount he included historical traumas levied especially against Black people given that it seemed more like white observational guilt than necessary plot as none of the key players are people of color.)
I also thought it was a little early in the series to give us a book that was so personal to one of the characters, but that's a more editorial nitpick than it is a note on the book's merits.
