dark mysterious tense medium-paced

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

I'm not sure whether the English translation really does this book justice. I also disliked the way the female characters were written (honestly 99.9% of them overly sexualised). I know that might be a trope of noir, perhaps, but it wasn't the book for me because of it.
