A dark murder mystery set in the 50’s that is rough and not happy or smooth.
The twists in this were everything. The discussion of hard to acknowledge topics like homophobia and police brutality was also a very important and well felt piece. It was made a part of the story and not just a plot point on the side.
Please not content warnings before reading. This mystery is deep and can be triggering.
