dark tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Nobody does Southern noir like Cosby. Master at using the crime novel to interrogate race in rural South.

There's some objectification of women in this book which while suiting the MC did bother me at times.
