The central premise is monster meets girl while pretending to be human and falls in love. Hijinks ensue. But the monster spends a lot of time struggling with what it is to be human and simultaneously being incredibly canny about human relationships. Which is kind of a clash and drew me out of the story a number of times.
Also, without getting too spoilery, suffice to say I liked the beginning portion of the book more than the ending portion after various twists.

Told from the perspective of a rather stick-in-the-mud assistant investigator to a genius detective who has been banished to the hinterlands for unspecified faux pas against powerful people of the Empire, we follow as their investigation goes from strange to dangerous as it threatens powerful people and the very walls the Empire is founded on.
The primary conceit for the universe he creates this time is that genetic alterations are but a flask of chemicals away and the whole Empire is largely run by various highly modified individuals. The narrator has just been given his first modification, making him an engraver, which means he has perfect memory of anything he views or hears or smells. He is the eyes and ears for the investigator, relaying the physical clues to her from which she deduces the rest.
Strongly recommended read! Really well plotted, great characters and a fascinating world for them …

A good read about end of the world problems in his Craft work universe, but I feel like I almost should have reread all his past stuff before reading it b/c he practically brought back every single character from anything he’s written before and I was having trouble even remembering them let alone everything they’d been through in previous works.
