5.0

This was a gritty noir written in the classic style. Everyone was a complex morally, gray hardened criminal. However, their inner monologues were where they were vulnerable and reflective. The passages that delve into their thoughts is where they gained my empathy.

Chapters in this book played out like a movie and felt cinematic. It was a perfect paste crime thriller read. I’d recommend this for fans of Eli Cranor or Cormac McCarthy.
