The storyline and case are intriguing. However, police-work didn’t go into much detail, so you do question why certain factors were not considered or why they didn’t think to look at ‘XYZ’.
There is also a trans-woman character and they are often referred to as their birth-sex and they dead-name her. I felt the author did not accept the character’s true identity and only involved a trans character to hide the persons’ past relationship with another character. This shows particularly when the author referenced the trans woman as “ ‘her’ “ which I felt was mocking and wrong.
