I absolutely loved this self-contained story from beginning to end. It has its share of cliches but I'm totally okay with that when the characters and plot are this good. Crime journalism meets the supernatural and a queer black woman with Jessica Jones vibes has to navigate 1972 Detroit and get to the bottom of things.

Great characters and you can tell that Ahmed knows Detroit well - the city feels very well imagined and three dimensional. I thought the mystery part could have been developed with a little more depth though.

Interesting blend of genres. I enjoyed the story. Silly thing that bothers me about the book: I am not comfortable with all the smoking in the book, but it was the early seventies. I sort of remember everyone smoking back then.
