Started off really good but I can’t tell if it was the narrator’s voice or the story that turned lackluster.

Forget what I learned from watching TV shows like ‘Prison Break’ or reading books like ‘The Cartel’ by Don Winslow, ‘She Rides Shotgun’ by Jordan Harper plunges you into the intense world of prisoners, ex-cons, drug runners, corrupt cops and contract killing on an entirely different and personal level. I often find novels written from various viewpoints arduous but Harper’s writing is slick and taut moving fluidly between the characters. I noticed a steely thread keeping the chapters or episodes strung together creating an impelling read and tying the plot together. Nerves of steel, steely resolve, prison bars, barbed wire, cages, blades, bullets and ties that bind grabbed me all the way to a satisfyingly ambiguous (yup!) ending. Brilliant!
