I read about this book on a book blog, or heard about it on a podcast, or maybe just noticed it on Amazon and decided it sounded intriguing. I can't really remember anymore.
Apparently, it is the third book in a series, but I didn't realize that until after I'd finished it. This should tell you that it works well as a standalone novel. However, perhaps the constant absinthe references would've made more sense to me if I'd read 1 and 2 first.
I liked it. It has an interesting blend of reality and the supernatural that errs on the side of realism, which is a nice break from all of the urban fantasy I've been reading (not that I don't love me some urban fantasy).
