"...she fooled you, too."

Unfortunately, this line didn't work for me because, no she fucking didn't. Maybe I am just too genre-savvy at this point (or simply too not-male), but that little bitch was sus as hell from the get-go. Even before she started shamelessly blowing smoke up our narrator's arse, she was clearly off.

Still rounding up from 3.5 stars because there was a lot more than the "whodunnit" going on here. Good writing, complex and well-developed characters, and interesting procedural drama. Very glad the story didn't simply end with the revelation but got into the complications, and ultimately the failure, of actually bringing the case to justice.
