4.5

I was really impressed by this book and found it to be a really thoughtful read. I can't think of another mystery where addiction, sex work, and policing were portrayed so thoughtfully and empathetically while acknowledging real complications, effects, and consequences. I listened as an audiobook and was basically glued to the story the entire time.
