This book was recommended to me by a librarian while I was browsing. He said, I think you'd like the audiobook, it's narrated by a Black British guy. 
Do I feel incredibly called out? Yes. Was this librarian right? Completely spot on. Loved the mixture of fantastic elements like magic, ghosts, etc with a crime investigation. (Shoutout to Elatsoe for introducing me to that in the first place). If you don't mind some pretty gruesome descriptions of violent crimes, check this out.
