Why this music
Because the book is noir with its tongue firmly in its cheek, the playlist stays cool and immaculate — brushed-snare swing, smoky brass, and wry lounge piano that never tip into menace. It moves like a well-rehearsed alibi: confident, light-footed, and just a little dangerous under the surface.
