This is a nice urban fantasy novel set in Australia. The main character, Verity Fassbinder, is half human and half ‘weyrd’ (or magical) which is both a blessing and a curse in her role as a private detective and bounty hunter as she has some level of trust from both camps, but also obvious distrust too. This is the first book in a series, and in it Verity is trying to unravel the secrets from her own family’s past as well as solve the cases she is working on. It has a nice nostalgic detective noir style which I enjoyed, and I will probably look out for and read more books from the series.
