A review by sumsunalli
Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.0
I think it is perfectly categorized to say this is a "historical noir" novel.
The pacing of this story was pretty slow, but there were no shortage of scenes of violence and mystery. SMG did a great job of weaving the characters together, although I will admit some of the gang members ran together for me.
I never felt like I connected with the characters, but I can objectively appreciate that this novel was written along the same lines as Mexican Gothic. I will continue to look for SMG's novels in the future.
Thank you to Silvia, Random House, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
