This made me realize I am not a fan of noir. I think if you are a fan of noir, you'll like this. It just wasn't my vibe.

Messy and fun, yet the real world events the book is surrounded by are haunting to say the least. Moreno-Garcia always writes fantastic characters, filled with imperfections.

Loved the idea, but I couldn’t connect with the characters to the point I cared about them so I basically read the story because I’m a chismosa, but I have to say it was way better I expected it to be, so I’ll give it that. Interesting time and historical accuracy made me actually finish it. I’d rate it a lot more if her characters had any development, 3.5 stars

Entertaining noir thriller on Mexico’s dirty war. Didn’t love the romance element.
