it took me about 40 pages to get into the writing style, but once i did, i was hooked. this book is a super-engaging and mysterious narrative about the first black police officers in atlanta in 1948. one thing that did bother me while reading was the very frequent usage of the n-word; it makes sense with the setting of the book, but it was still off-putting.
