Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk

The novella Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk (Witchmark, The Midnight Bargain) was excellent. A spiritualist must find Chicago's serial killer.

I usually avoid books with tragic titles, but I love this author's other works, so I went for it anyway.

This has a noir writing style, which is not something I encounter often as an SF/F reader. Though the serial killer is called the White City Vampire, this is not a vampire story, but it's still a paranormal one.

There's major f/f, as well as non-binary characters.
