A private detective with a shady past tries to keep his business on the right side of the law and financially solvent... which is more difficult than it sounds. Feels noirish, lots of characters to keep track of, an imperfect man trying to make the right choices. First in a series. 
 I was so surprised by how much I liked this book. The character of Leonid McGill is so well drawn and believable. The other characters were great too - Twill, Hannah, and Hush were some of my favorites. The book has a good mix of personal/family drama and mystery. The suspense level never got very high for me but I enjoyed the book for its characters more than anything else anyway. 
 One minor annoyance I had was that too many personal interactions (conversations, etc.) that Leonid had were compared to boxing matches. I get it, he's a former boxer who still gets in the ring occasionally, but this happened too many times for me. 
 Audio narration was excellent. I can't recall the narrator but I loved his voice. Felt very authentic as Leonid.
