This is a noir book with a noir voice, and I ultimately bounced off of that. I found the idea compelling: a detective who is a punk musician…and a nun! She has a complicated relationship to her past, to the idea of grace, and to religion. Unfortunately, I found the ending unsatisfying-it undercut those themes of religion and conflict that I most enjoyed while reading. Mostly meh, but still compelling enough to make me late for work one day. :D
