I had high hopes and expectations for this one, and I was not let down.

I've read many (all? most?) of Brubaker and Phillips' collaborations - Fatale, Criminal, and their Reckless series as well. And they have all been super fun to read.

I've been trying to think of how to describe them (and Where the Body Was fits perfectly in genre of all the ones I listed above) - and I started with "true crime" which does fit, they're also pretty pulpy...but modern pulp? If they were movies they might be like Tarantino movies? (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction...)

I guess I would summarize them (genre wise) as stories that could be real, with flawed characters who are middle to lower-middle class, often struggling and there is crime involved.

No supernatural stuff, no gore/horror, no superpowers.

Anyways, this one was super fun and interesting and I feel like to have gotten my hands on an "advance copy".
