Okay, I love this concept. Lesbian noir paranormal? Immediate sell.

And a success for the most part. I got a little lost with the volume of characters and their interconnections, and it went on a little longer than I expected it to, but for the most part it was quite a good time.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Violence, Sexual content, and Excrement

Moderate: Blood, Gore, Death, and Murder

Minor: Stalking

The plot is centered around a murder investigation and related murder attempts. A number of scenes occur in a sewer. The main character has an uncomfortable/unhealthy relationship with an ex (wrt stalking), but she is merely annoyed and the situation isn't explicitly dangerous.
