The dark fantasy of this was interesting too. As a reader I couldn’t help feeling compassionate for her. Her character was quirky, likeable, and just a bit facetious. I bonded with her immediately, even though I’m not really sure why. I really enjoyed the sleuthing aspect of this novel, especially since Gilda didn’t really want to do it. I’m not sure what I expected from this book, but I definitely got more than I bargained for. Will this finally answer what truly happened to her father? Or will it just lead her down another rabbit hole? What is Even more interesting is that everything seems to connect to her late father. But guns have never worked on the westside, so how is it that these weapons work? Before she knows it, she is wrapped up in the biggest case she could imagine between the two superpowers of the westside.

But not just any killings, murders using guns. While working a case about a missing glove, Gilda becomes witness to murders. One of those people is Gilda Carr, a detective who specializes in “tiny mysteries.” After all, big mysteries just take up too much effort and energy. Several people left for the eastside, but not everyone. In an effort to stop the madness, a thirteen-mile fence was constructed to separate the eastside and westside with guards to man the gates. Ten years ago, people started disappearing along with other objects. While the Eastside is prosperous, the Westside has a darkness. Things have gone amiss for several years in the Westside of Manhattan.

Funny how tiny mysteries have a way of asserting themselves into bigger problems!
