I honestly didn't have many expectations going into this and it blew me away. My favorite book by priest so far. (the fourth I've read, along with Guardian, Qi Ye, and Tian Ya Ke).

MIND THE TRIGGER WARNINGS it is dark af at places.

Moderate: Drug use, Fire/Fire injury, Gore, Police brutality, and Infidelity

Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Classism

It's about solving crimes, so it's relatively pro-cop, and the crimes are extensively described and often awful. For example, one entire plotline focuses on

busting a pedophilia/murder ring, where children are kidnapped, sold to pedophiles, then kissed

. It's very hard reading at times.

5.0

Super dark, interconnected mysteries are interspersed with cute relationship moments and also moments with the cat, which are adorable and hilarious. Not sure I'd recommend it to anyone due to the aforementioned super dark mysteries (sexual assault, rape, and murder of children top the list), but it was really good. The way the mysteries were connected was great, and I really liked the characters.
