I really enjoy the humor and voice that Kingfisher gives her protagonists. Some of the horror aspects of this particular story struck a squeamish nerve for me, but I still really enjoyed it overall.

It’s a solid read with an interesting cast and an ending that while mostly telegraphed is worth sticking around for.
