The Foulest Things

This review was first published at https://literaryquicksand.com/2022/12/what-we-read-in-november-2022/

After reading and loving Tector's The Honeybee Emeralds, I was excited to read her next book, The Foulest Things. I'm glad I did – it was really a fun read!

It all starts when the main character, Jess, finds a body in the archives' art vault. She's an aspiring junior archivist, and suddenly everything in her life goes...a bit nuts. There's a really fun mystery, and Jess is right in the middle of it with a discovery she makes inside some old ledgers.

I really had no idea about the life of an archivist, so this was a really fun read. It lends itself so well to mystery!
