Almost Surely Dead

This was a thrilling book to read, kept me on my toes for sure. I had a weird feeling about Liz from the start, felt very forced. a bit of a cliff hanger ending but overall ties it up. Love the supernatural element that wasn't taking up the whole book, but played nicely with it. 

So the overall plot of this book is an interesting magical-realism psychological thriller well worth the time and effort. But my absolute favorite thing about this book is the way the author absolutely reams the “white women with vocal fry and quirky attitudes milk the stories of dead and missing women for podcasts and cash” genre, using a podcast investigation into the main character's disappearance to both drive the narrative AND zoom in on the worst of the exploitative true crime podcast genre. Incredible. Worth it just for that, but the whole book is solid.
