I liked the structure of this book better than the first one; there was a better balance between the criminal’s story vs the actual solving of the crime, following Sherlock and Watson (leaning heavily towards following the narrative of the latter). However, the sheer amount of racist content in this book really decreased my enjoyment.
Graphic: Drug use, Racial slurs, Racism, and Murder
Minor: Cannibalism
