Rose/House

Cyberpunk in its way, this is a genre-resisting noir (the detectives are police, not private, the clients don't want to be clients).

It has Martine's characteristic poetic prose, and themes of people, places, and the messy complexity of their relationships. Enjoyed it, despite it being a little disorientingly inhuman at times.

Interesting ideas here, but it doesn't pull it all together. Still worth a read.
