dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

3 stars cause I’m not a big fan of hardboiled detective noir fiction. But I enjoyed the characters and especially liked Abbott and her paramours. Also Sgt. James was great. An honest historical supernatural mystery about a black woman reporter telling the truth in an age of rampant racism.
