I'm surprised by how much I liked this one. Not normally a fan of crime/thriller books and that degree of violence in a contemporary setting. The book also contains a ton of homophobia and racism. But the book actually deals with these topics and even if all the characters were (dark) grey when it comes to morals, they also reflected a lot on their past and present actions. The writing style is great and the narrator of the audiobook is excellent. Overall, I think the book handled everything really well and I was totally invested.
