This is a pretty effective thriller, all in all, with some noir-ish elements, making some good use of the Pandemic (it's set in 2020) and the concomitant sense of all the walls closing in while the world crumbled. The main character is giving off some big Unreliable Narrator Energy for most of the book, but while she's twitchy and prone to jumping to bad conclusions, she's not the villain or anything. It's not exactly subtext, but there's also some interesting poking at some elements of the Black experience in America, here.
