Etwas lahmer Krimi über einen Privatdetektiv, der den Mord an der Frau seines Freundes u d ihren Geliebten aufklären soll.

[Meg Bee · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read this book for an extra credit assignment in a history-type course: I never would have read it otherwise.

I enjoyed the historical aspect of this book. The smatterings of information about a young Winnipeg were definitely the highlights.

Otherwise, I didn't like the way it was written. I didn't appreciate the gaze of the narrator, and I could see plot twists coming a mile away.

SPOILER: I especially didn't like the common tropes of queer people either. Dead bisexual girl? Jealousy-crazed lady lover? No thanks.
