A short little lesbian supernatural noir book I finished in a single sitting, Even Though I Knew the End managed to fit a lot of story into less than 150 pages. Set in 1941 Chicago, a mystic detective ends up being hired for a murder case that ends up being a lot more than a murder case. I'm not normally a noir person, but I found this perfectly enjoyable. Well-paced and well-written, I would recommend this to anyone who finds the premise interesting.
