Fun murder mystery
Siri is a taxi driver in NYC. It's not exactly how she wanted to spend her late twenties but sometimes life gets in the way. She makes her job easier by listening to true crime podcasts and imagining her parallel life as a lawyer. Then one night a man is murdered in her cab and she becomes the prime suspect. With the help of her best friend and a public defender she has just met she embarks on the journey to clear her name. It's a fun, easy book, with a twist at the end I never saw coming when I thought I had it all figured out. I did have some problems with her depictions of police officers and the judicial system but I also don't have brown skin so I have to take a step back. I did enjoy the authors obvious love of the city she lives in. Overall, it is a fun book to read
