Pretty nice detective novel with some cool sci-fi elements about long life. Some interesting brutal fight scenes as well, including one where the main guy shoves his fist in his opponents mouth, cutting off his air supply.

derekvan reviewed Glow: A Novel by Jessie Gaynor
Clever
3 stars
This book was ok, but did drag a bit. There were some clever observations on the beauty industry and the desire to link spiritual letting go with a resulting beautiful glow. Also a critique of "selling out" in the wellness space. But the main character had a kind of tragic arc that was distasteful.
