The witty, queer accidental detective of the Epitome Apartments is back. While helping to solve a community murder, she also needs to convince police that she didn’t revenge-kill the man who took everything from herThe nameless amateur sleuth of The Adventures of Isabel and What’s the Matter with Mary Jane? has often said that death is too good for Lockwood Chiles — who is in prison for killing her beloved partner, Nathan, and her close friend Pris — and makes no secret that she hates the man who massacred her shot at happiness. So when Chiles ends up dead in his cell, it’s no wonder she becomes a prime suspect.
Meanwhile, an aggressive band of men in military-adjacent garb turn a string of assaults against nameless’s unhoused neighbors into full-bore murder right behind the Epitome Apartments, and she rashly promises to help bring them to law.
As if that’s not enough, unscrupulous parties are scheming to strip her of her inheritance, money she and Nathan had intended would address the city’s lack of harm-reduction services and low-income housing. Now it is nameless’s mission to clear her name and to hold her tattered community together, all while she’s coming apart herself.

The damage caused by Lockwood Chiles is ongoing — he is murdered in prison and our unnamed amateur detective narrator is the prime suspect for arranging the murder; his smart paper is causing multiple headaches; and Nathan’s siblings have appeared to contest the will. If that is not enough, a gang of thugs have been attacking (and sometimes killing) homeless individuals, and their latest target will be some of the homeless who camp out behind the Epitome Apartments — a problem that will bother our narrator on multiple levels. Also, a closely guarded secret will show up, and they will be one of the best additions to the story. I don’t recall Mr. Spak, the narrator’s lawyer, from the previous books, although I am sure he made an appearance. However, he plays a prominent role in this book, and is a very enjoyable and entertaining character. I also enjoyed the numerous asides/footnotes, in which the narrator explains things, makes cultural references, adds commentary to events, tosses out random facts, or provides other interesting or amusing information. This is one of the best aspects of these books.
