It's been a while since I read a crime novel, and I'm a big fan of them so I thought I'd enjoy this. It was a good book, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling it. I couldn't get into it.

The d slur (used against lesbians) is used once in this book by a male character. If you're not comfortable with this, I recommend not reading this book.

Good mystery with interesting characters. Everyone in the book feels fully-formed, even if you only get their point of view for a couple pages.
