These Women

Not one I would have read without a recommendation, but glad I did. Not a murder mystery in the sense that you pretty clearly know who is killing the women early on, and can sense the why, but that's really just the mechanism to talk about “these women's” stories and show the story weaving through each of their perspectives on their own life and same strip of LA (6 in total). I was partial to Feelia's framing story because Queen Bahni Turpin performed the hell out of it, but the main narrator did well. I was more compelled by the story as it went on and each woman's interconnection was revealed. This is a book I won't forget.
Things I liked, and things I didn't-which is true of pretty much all books, really. Well written and painful, which based on the artist character is probably what the author was going for-something that matters.
odd narrative style but i like odd! a few issues with the way the author tried to connect to many things at once which left some of them lacking in depth but enjoyable and interesting anyway
Perfect read for a slow day off. Pochoda does the serial killer murder mystery from the perspective of the women: the mothers, the daughters, the murdered, and one cop who sees the pieces.
