And really, that's all about I can tell you, because I don't really understand the world in this book. (I am not a big fan of that.) You don't want to be out at night, because that's when the murders happen, and in the morning, the streets are littered with bodies. (And they have barcodes aka Catalogue Numbers on their foreheads for identification.) There are different times in the day-the Silent Hour, the Night Siren-and a bunch of things are capitalized, as you can see. People are in different groups: Shallows, Wards, Initiates, Leeches, Gravers, Pirates, etc. Told from the dual POVs of Meadow and Zephyr, The Murder Complex takes place in a future that I don't think is too distant, where disease has been eliminated and the only way to die is via murder (which happens a LOT). At the same time, it had some kind of glaring issues-and they didn't really bother me. Somehow, this book was a page-turner and kind of addicting (I'm putting partial blame on the number of short chapters and thick margins). And to be honest, I don't know that I was super excited about this book in the first place. The Murder Complex is one of those books that I like, but I don't know why.
