Title Reference: It was inspired by The Ballad of the Shape of Things by Blossom Dearie.

Trigger Warning: The Soft-Boiled Detective contains content that may be alarming or upsetting to some listeners. There are depictions of violence and murder, frank portrayals of sexuality, discussions of abuse and mental illness, and adult language. Episodes may contain sudden gunshot sounds.

In this episode, there are discussions of domestic abuse and violence against romantic partners. There’s a scene that takes place right before a woman is murdered. Although her death does not happen on screen, it may still be upsetting to hear. The time stamps for this scene are 14:10 - 14:35.

There is also a character that explores police corruption and abuse.

Stay tuned for a trailer for Ashlee Craft's Finley & the Chaos Crew after the episode!
