The protagonist was that quintessential gum-smacking overly badass female character that I'm not too much of a fan of for some reason. It was distracting.

Maybe in 1998 you could have a shifty dwarf character who talks funny and then is beat up and lit on fire in the first chapter and your novel could be widely praised as quirky and thrilling, but there’s no room for this shit in 2023.

Really fun book with a unambitious lady heroine in a inventive Chandleresque plot.

This book is odd-- oddly dark and disturbing, filled with odd characters that do weird things. No one is very likable, but I found myself totally in love with the main character, foibles and all.
I loved it and counted it as one of the few books I would lend to people to impress them, until someone I lent it to never gave it back! Now I miss it and am always thinking of how much I would like to re-read it.
