I loved this mystery. The characters were excellent, the action and pacing was great, and the educational aspect was very deftly done. It reminded me a lot of Reservation Dogs (a lot in here only for Indigenous audiences, but also a lot for everyone else, and a great mix of entertaining and reverent). Virgil is an amazing antihero (though that feels a little too negative).
