I read this in two sittings in one day. It was fantastic.
“Because a simple colored man isn't murdered like that unless he stumbled onto something. Something unusual. Something dangerous. Something...damaging.”
I’ve wanted to read this book since it was released and I finally got a copy of it for my birthday this year. It did not disappoint. I sat down on a Saturday morning with my breakfast to “start” it and read 70 pages. Then, throughout the day, I finished it. It was a page turner. It was filled with truths. The characters were interesting and the plot was well thought out. I thought that the setting and time period was unique, as I can’t even remember another book I’ve read that is set in the 1920’s revolving around the actions of the KKK. I loved Annalee and her spunk and heart, as well as her love for Sherlock Holmes. I also loved Jack and how they worked so well together. I definitely recommend this one if you enjoy history and mystery. I am excited to read book 2!
