Book Review: Beautiful Things Obey

  Three authors. Two morally grey characters. One deadly world. In the silence of the morgue, she fixes what violence ruins. Bullet wounds disappear beneath careful stitching. Evidence vanishes. Secrets are buried with the dead. Every crew in the city relies on her. All except one. The largest. The most powerful. The one even other criminals fear. She has spent years avoiding them.
