• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

at first I was like "eugh this will be copaganda won't it" AND THEN IT WAS REVERSE COPAGANDA!!!!!! 🎉🥳🎇🎊 like the protagonist's backstory is overcoming his past as a cop and the bad rep that cops have in the queer community and the guilt he feels about having been one.

4.5

Such a great balance of classic gumshoe mystery, well-researched midcentury history, and skillful character development. Detective Andy Mills is finding his way, his community, and his calling — and I'm finding an arc of book 3 because these are some of the most satisfying mysteries I've read in a long time.

Incredibly slow burn on the mystery in this one but it works really well as a character study of our noir detective, Andy, as he comes to terms with his past and works toward his (hopefully happy) future!!
