Actually is less than a four. Rounding up. It was good, but I think I love the Will Tent series so much that I can’t help but compare this book to those. Will say book kept getting as it progressed. Hoping this one gets spun off into its own series.

True to its time period, just about every slur possible is said in this book. It’s not really my place to comment on the use of slurs to make a time accurate book but was extremely aware that this is written by a white woman from Georgia who I do not believe to be Jewish. Another thing that gave me pause and took me out of the story is the fact that every man is enamored with Kate, even the gay ones. And even when her uniform is three times too big and couldn’t possibly show her boobs off 

Fox/Bixby even holds off on killing her because he wants to have sex with her too badly

I almost thought that Rick would be the shooter based on how much attention he got and that he was also a vet but was the “safest guy”. I didn’t mind it just being one of the assholes who stuck around Terry though.
