And I love how snarky both of them are about the racism they deal with on the job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But she is pretty snarky in general, which I love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also love her complete and total competence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for the story, there is a form of black mould taking on a life of its own, in an uppity housing development, but it also goes back to a discussion Peter had with Dr Walid in book two.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t die of jazz,\u201d said Dr. Walid. \u201cCan you?\u201d<\/p>\n

I thought of Fats Navarro, Billie Holiday, and Charlie Parker who, when he died, was mistaken by a coroner for a man twice his real age.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know,\u201d I said, \u201cI think you\u2019ll find you can.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I do love this series.<\/p>\n
