This is such a charming story. Even as an adult I enjoyed it very much, and since it ended with a cliffhanger, I immediately ordered the second book in the series. :D Off to new adventures!

The story was engaging enough to keep me reading, and I finished the book pretty fast. However, the characters imho would have needed more development and depth, the plot and characters' decisions sometimes didn't make sense at all, and the ending felt kinda abrupt and rushed. The writing style was at times confusing and repetitive. In the end I was left with so many questions concerning the murders, the whys and hows. On the plus side, we get queer Black characters and a glimpse into 1920s Harlem. I will certainly read the next book in the series because I want to know how it all further develops - the story as well as the writing.
