I am not the biggest fan of detective/mystery books, but if I was this would have probably been a five star book. The first half leans hard on the noir aspect, but the latter half's plot twists and story is so good that I was hooked. The last chapter? So beautifully bittersweet. Just like, deciding on love when you know your days are numbered? Choosing being with your beloved over heaven? So queer, so well-done.
Graphic: Gun violence, Violence, Death, and Blood
Moderate: Forced institutionalization
Minor: Child death and Death of parent
