bookshelves: audio, recommend

A prohibition era, Black Washington heist novel with ghosts. I loooooooved this book. I love a good heist novel and this one was delightful. I also really enjoyed the interstitials that gave us backstory about the various team members without slowing the story down. Clara Johnson is smart, damaged, and compelled to help people. Even if she weren't cursed to help anyone who asks her, she would still get up and help.

I listened to the audiobook and the narration was fantastic.
