msteinfeld 's review for:

Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
5.0

I'm pretty sure I could read a novel length description of folding laundry and I'd love it as along as it was written by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. There is something about her prose that just sucks me in completely. I really enjoyed this noir - and LOVED reading it while listing to the accompanying curated Spotify playlist. The story was appropriately "small" for a noir, but richly atmospheric, with delightful layers built in to the character development about the way we see ourselves vs the way the world see us.
