i wish there was a deeper meaning to me being enamored with stereotypical noire detective characters but i think i just like:
1) main characters who are a big failure but trying anyway
2) solving a crime but not being the police
actually… im astrid
“it was a blistering afternoon when the case came across my desk. not much to go on: only a denial of guilt, from the woman we knew could only be guilty. i looked at the message in question, ‘you can’t prove i did it’. the next 72 hours would be be difficult, but i knew only i would touch this case”
