A warning: this book is not jolly, or comforting. There are things in it you might  find amusing, perhaps even funny (a depressed detective everyone mistakes for a Frenchman, a zealously cheerful "freelance moral guardian," and Brulightly--who is so unexpected that I won't spoil him for you here); but this is a murder mystery, dark and gray and full of rain. It's a story about what happens when you excavate different kinds of truth, and find there's nothing neat or satisfying in the result. And the art is great: odd, surprising, and wonderfully noir.
