It's a slow paced book, taking up not too long after the last book. I didn't notice any specific impact or trauma on the MC from the last book.
The plot was interesting, I guess. I forget if the MC is a character of color or not, but it does feel a little odd that the few CoC are, well, not given big parts in the book beyond dead woman and sounding board.
I thought the finale was decent and resolved everything fairly well. I hated the love interest for the MC. The rest of the characters felt rather shallow and I couldn't tell if that's on purpose. The dead woman wasn't given much depth, either.
Diversity? Not really, despite it being in Los Angeles. There's a character of color and her Japanese love interest. The CoC is a sounding board to the MC most of the time. The rest is rich white people.
I enjoyed reading this, despite all that. It was a well written mystery thriller and I didn't finish it feel like I wasted my time.
