This was simply not a book for me. The amount of times I started and stopped reading was absurd. It was really giving me reading slump vibes. However, if I’m going to say something positive about it (and I will since I know some people would and have eaten this book up) it would be that the author is very creative. I haven’t read murders like this before. Nor have I read a plot or reasoning for killing like this before! I don’t think that makes up for how convoluted and confusing the whole plot and story structure was, but it’s something.

Note about police brutality tw: book is not about police brutality, but protag is your standard rogue cop who feels above the law. If that's a problem, give it a pass.breezer's review

Major misogynistic overtones and unchallenged sexism made this a tough read. (Think male authors writing women Twitter feed) Had some redemption in the small bits of action and atmosphere we got.

Read this for a class--really long, the translation can make it a little clunky at times.
