Didn’t care too much for this one. The who-dunnit portion was good and interesting but I hated most of the characters, including the narrator and main detective, Hawthorne, who was a racist but was still fawned over by the narrator and the detective’s former partner. “Better a racist than a murderer?” I wouldn’t be too sure.
