I really enjoyed Richardson's Greywalker series and was excited to read her new book.
It is the start of a new series and I'm looking forward to reading the next in it.
Unfortunately, the start is a bit rough.
It's set in the 1930s with all the slang. Modeled after hard-boiled noir detective fiction with a bit of supernatural thrown in. She includes a glossary at the end of the book in case some of the slang is confusing. I'm interested in more of the world and more stories set here. I had a hard time following the story initially - the main character has chosen to get rid of some of his memories, but that didn't make sense to me until halfway through the book. So we're trying to solve a mystery but don't have all the information and aren't aware that we are missing major things. Also there are a number of typos in the ebook that were distracting for me.
So mixed opinions overall - but I do plan on buying the next in the series when it's announced and released.
