This is not really a book I would ordinarily pick up based on content. But after reading God of the Woods I was starving for more of Liz Moore's way of constructing prose and articulating stories. The characters are so believable, there's so much depth and reality to the people and stories she creates. This book did not disappoint.

The main character was so fixated on her sad circumstances growing up that she couldn't focus on being good at her job. She didn't seem to have any street smarts or the instincts needed to solve crimes. I found her pretty unlikeable, even as I was sympathizing with her sad circumstances.
