Magic for LiarsMagic for Liars by Sarah Gailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think this just hit that sweet spot for me. Nothing out there, but a comfortable fantasy matching a modern noir with a female hard-bitten PI with sister problems and magic school murder scene.

It's a comfortable story full of old elements mixed together in a modern magical mystery base.

It's that kind of PI story that can just rattle around and rolls up in a satisfying way. It helps that we get a lot of cool magic and HS drama, too.
