i loved this book!

it's a good book. however the narrative leaves something to be desired. Her voice over of the men and some of the female characters were one note. She could have done a better job of voice interpretation.

Depth of characters and plots.

Great story telling. Surprises with each chapter. By far the best book of this author I’ve read so far.

Best read ever

Mary never disappoints, her ability to capture a city and the culture of the people in her stories are phenomenal! The wit and defined narration are always on point. Mary Monroe is a true GOAT!
