Ack, I really liked Thirteen because of the well-written villain but 13 pages in and this is all the tropes that bore me in crime fiction so I'm hoping that the story wins me over.

Male + Police/Lawyer/Detective + used to do shady shit + alcoholism/substance misuse + separated/divorced/family problems + one child.

Like, isn't that the basis behind the Rebus novels and so many other crime novels too? Pls be good!
