Library of the Dead (Edinburgh Nights, 1) door T L Huchu
Excellent! I've been looking for more character driven urban fantasy, and Ropa's adventures hit the spot. I love how snarky and annoyed she is, how true blue to family and community, how resilient in the face of grinding poverty. I find her very relatable in our currently crumbling society and I'm interested to learn more about the dystopian background of her world. I'm intrigued by the magical system and delighted by the list of great mbiru players that she drops throughout the book.
A girl who can communicate with the dead makes her living by charging them and their living relations for the privilege of her gift. But when a ghost who can’t pay begs her to find her missing son, she breaks all her rules against charity cases and sets out to investigate the series of mysterious disappearances in the neighborhood. She also gets her friend to sneak her into the members-only secret library where he works (and for which his father is president), and soon realizes both that the two things are related and that she very well may be in over her head.

A light read with some heavy topics. This short story depicts daily life in Zimbabwe as well as some serious social issues, such as injustice, corruption, and homophobia - though mostly from the surface. The writing might have benefited from more editing, but it was a pleasant and quick read.
This wasn't for me and I should have DNF'd.
