[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I won this book in a GoodReads giveaway and am so happy I did or I may never have discovered this author. The book was well written, had a lot of depth to it and kept me interested. This was not a who-dun-it in the traditional sense as you know who the killers are way before the end. But having different characters (including a gun!) fill in additional details of the crime and backstory and friendship was very creative. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

I really enjoyed this book, fast paced and kept me engrossed in the story. Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down, I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I really liked the gun personality, this a unusual "character" in the book. The character descriptions are entertaining with the nicknames, there is plenty of action, the plot makes you think and I like the addition of the guns and their part in the story. After having read this story I plan to look up other stories by the author to see if they are as engaging as this story. I won this book in a goodreads giveaway and am thankful since I had not heard of this author previously.
