However....I didn't love it. The ending was a little anti-climactic and
Overall though, a very well researched story taking place in Kensington and you can tell from every page that a lot of care was given to staying true to the locals and trying to tell the story from the point of a view of a local as best as possible, and I think she succeeded. Wasn't a huge fan of the overall plot (mostly just the ending), but I have to give credit for a great Philadelphia setting. 3.5!

Our protagonist, Mickey, is a cop in Philly who is worried that her sister, Kacey, who has gone missing, is a victim of a serial killer who has been murdering female sex workers on Kensington Ave. Mickey and Kacey have a strained relationship, as the former is a cop with their own apartment and a son, while the latter is addicted to drugs and works the streets.
This book takes you on a lot of twists and turns that you don't see coming and also pulls in intergenerational trauma and how it can differently affect members of said family.
