Not quite as good as the previous book - there was a lot of jumping around that got very disorientating. However, the end was so satisfying it's hard to stay mad

You can pick any random Whitehead sentence, and it’s a masterclass in teaching writing. This crime fiction just isn’t my thing like The Underground Railroad or The Nickel Boys (which is a perfect book). But Whitehead remains one of my favorite living novelists.
