Anna is a protagonist worth following! She is an impulsive agent of chaos that lets know slight go unpunished.
A mystery novel that takes place in the literary world can be a bit dry, but Anna brings excitement and tension to every interaction with the public and conversation with her team.
This was a real page Turner. I couldn’t put it down, and I wondered if Anna could imagine to evade detection with her risky behavior.
I was initially hesitant to read this because I felt that the first book did not need a sequel, but this lived up to its predecessor. There was a portion of the middle that felt overly long, but ultimately the book gathered steam after the midpoint.
