A fun setup for a mystery series - a woman, formerly an influential part of the prison system, on her way down after a traumatic incident being taken hostage - is assigned to locate and arrest parole violators who have disappeared.  She is still trying to see it as an opportunity despite being trapped in a downward spiral of depression.  It's this depression that causes the biggest issue with the book. Tonally, most of the characters are quirky, even a lot of the dangerous ones are also a little weird. But the main character's self-hatred (and we're over her shoulder a lot, so we constantly get an emphasis on her loathing of her own body, reflected in how others see her as well) makes this a hard book to truly enjoy on the level that the author clearly wants us to. This book clearly wants to be a caper, with serious elements of course, as befits any crime novel, but the relentless trauma and depression of the main character makes it more of a slog than it should be.
