DNF. Review based off ~50%.
The Vinyl Detective series is glorious, but this same-universe new series lacks all the charm. I wanted to love this but the MC is unlikeable and the plot is baffling. "I see highly collectible books I can make money from so I'm going to commit burglary." The writing on the sexual side of things was genuinely uncomfortable.
I don't like leaving negative reviews, especially DNFs, but fair warning required on this. Let's have some more Vinyl Detectives next, please?
