This book was a good mystery with an amateur sleuth in history professor Emma, set in NY in the 1980s. When her neighbor "Seal", a photographer who was linked with Warhol, dies under mysterious circumstances. Emma was becoming friends with her and wants to find out why this happened.
My favorite part of this was the post-mortem POV of Seal as she narrates her young life. I also liked that there were some parts of history that I haven't heard of before (I was growing up in the 80s so if they didn't teach it in school, I didn't know it) and it made me stop the book for a bit to Google and learn about it.
The only thing I would change is that sometimes the chapters were longer and sometimes they were shorter and that just let to some weighed down/sluggish parts to me.
