I just really liked how all this was done even if I did guess almost immediately what was going on with this case and not because the author spoiled it or I felt like too much was revealed I just was able to guess because I tend to have a PR good read on how people are. I was a touch confused though about why right at the end of the book we get this massive info dump about how Isaiah first got into the crime solving business and we learned about some of his early cases it was all fascinating stuff but it felt like stuff that was far more appropriate for this book's early chapters.
IQ (2016)
"A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence. He charges his clients whatever they can afford, which might be a set of tires or a homemade casserole. To get by, he's forced to take on clients that can pay. This time, it's a rap mogul whose life is in danger. As Isaiah investigates, he encounters a vengeful ex-wife, a crew of notorious cutthroats, a monstrous attack dog, and a hit man who even other hit men say is a lunatic. The deeper Isaiah digs, the more far reaching and dangerous the case becomes"--
