The Unquiet Dead

For the Read Harder Challenge, a mystery by a person of color or LGBTQ+. The sections dealing with the past genocide of Muslims in Bosnia were gripping, and if the entire book had been as well written, I would have given it at least 4 stars. But the main characters in the detective story are oddly portrayed–the police hardly investigate at all and personalities aren't ever fleshed out. I also kept wondering if I missed an earlier book, although this is #1, because there were so many vague references to past experiences that didn't really move the current story along. I would give these sections a 2 or less, so split the difference with a 3.
