Perfect for you if...
- You love detective fiction with a protagonist who feels genuinely different, not just different for marketing reasons.
- You enjoy mysteries that blend procedural grit with slightly fantastical elements without becoming sci-fi.
- You appreciate series with plenty of books to sink into once you've found your detective.
Maybe not for you if...
- You want cosy mysteries or police procedurals that follow genre conventions closely.
- You're looking for contemporary NYC settings; this one's rooted firmly in its 1970s moment.
- You prefer romance subplots; Mongo's personal life takes a backseat to the case.
