I loved this so much! I highly recommend!
I loved the idea of Cora being a crime scene cleaner. I don't work IN crime scenes, but I work as an analyst for my city's homicide unit so I do see video/photos of homicides from time to time.
The story really hit home for me too. As as Asian American, I can directly relate to the anti-Asian rhetoric that ran rampant in 2020. I also lost someone very close to me during the pandemic and was unable to say my goodbyes due to travel restrictions.
I really enjoyed how the Hungry Ghost Festival was tied into the story. Even if you aren't familiar with the tradition, I think you'll enjoy this story. I absolutely devoured it in one weekend. You could say I was starved for more and couldn't put it down.
