I’m obsessed with this world! Louise is known as a hero in Harlem after escaping her kidnapper in her teens. Life has calmed down for Louise until young girls are suddenly being left for dead outside of her workplace. In a turn of events, Louise is forced into investigating this case with local law enforcement and nothing is as it seems. This mystery is brimming with the charm of the Harlem Renaissance while delivering fast paced twists and turns. I love Louise and her band of misfits!
