Blackbirds

Blackbirds is a very grungy story featuring a deeply flawed protagonist—vulgar, unkind Miriam Black is not an easy heroine to like. I appreciated that her negative traits are acknowledged in the story, though, and that she is not happy with the person that she has become. A major question throughout the story concerns whether she is capable of improving herself and her situation, or if "fate" will have the last word. The story is mostly a relatively straightforward thriller, one with a pretty large amount of profanity, general dirtiness, and violence. Blackbirds sets the stage for more stories of Miriam Black, but it also works fine as a standalone novel.
