The main character spends a lot of time bitching that people don’t treat her with courtesy in her job. But she also spends a lot of time not treating people with courtesy?

I mean, it’s mostly really good. I just can’t get over the weird Jamaican thing. Is it racist? Is there some kind of quirky biography thing that I missed? It’s jusy so distracting and terrible.

What is with this detective character with the really terrible Jamaican accent? Aren’t they supposed to be in St Louis or something? Or is this some sort of ‘all black people sound like they’re fresh off the boat from kingston’ thing?

Dreyer begins with the HL Mencken quote "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
I'm curious to see what this has to do with a book that is, according to the blurb, some sort of vaguely Rear Window meets No Angels story. Maybe it's just stuck on the front because Dreyer thought it looked smart. God knows I've done that.
