Quick read; good little mystery
I love historical fiction!! This book being set during one of my favorite time periods, the Prohibition Era, definitely caused me to want to give it a read; even though mysteries aren’t really my thing…I mean you never know, right.?.?
Overall, the story was good. The character development was decent. I thought that it seemed extremely repetitive in places. It was a slow-burn for me. I like to be hooked in at least the first five chapters. I’ll even give some books 10 chapters, if they’re over 800 pages. This didn’t grab me. But, I stayed the course, because mysteries are not my preference and I wanted to give it my best…because hell if it’s good enough it could be.
If you like books that are a slow-burn, quick to read, and do not have much depth; you’ll probably enjoy this book. Also, if you’re not into “edge of you seat” thrillers and horror(It’s me. I’m mostly into those); you just might enjoy the tamed-nature of this book.
I’d,also, like to thank the author, publisher and Goodreads for a opportunity to win a copy of this book.
