Even Though I Knew the End

A novella about a private eye in 1940's Chicago. This era of book rarely works for me, so my lack of love could be that, particularly the lingo. There's a mystery, a queer romance, a deal with a devil, and a complicated sibling relationship - so this should have worked for me, but at the end of the day I felt very blasé around all of it. The angels and demons were my favorite part, but I didn't get as much of them as I would have liked. Ultimately, I feel that this book was just fine and I wish I could have loved it as much as the reviewers I follow.
