From the moment I started I knew I would not be able to put this book down!! I was instantly hooked with the mysterious disappearance of a local girl and the best private investigator on the case, Lillian Byrne! I’d be remiss not to mention Mr. Rossi and how he has now become one of my new favorite “book men”! 😍 I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

It's been way too long between Sharon Cullen reads for me. Once I started reading this story I remembered why I have previously read every book she has written. Sharon has a way of pulling me into the story and her characters lives with both strong female and male leads and her stories are realistic. I didn't want Joe and Lily's story to end and felt a little sad at reading the words "The End".

I never read about the prohibition era but I’m so glad I picked this book up. The characters are relatable, the plot moves swiftly yet not too quickly. The plot twists and turns keep you on your toes. And Joe Rossi… need I say more 😍

Attention keeper
The book keeps your attention. Has lots of details but does not drag out the details. Hope there is a continuation of this book.

Love this era, love Cincinnati…
After finishing several “smutty” books recently, I have to say it’s extremely refreshing to feel the tingles and chemistry in this story through precious, tender moments instead of through wild and intense scenes. This relationship grew beautifully. Can’t wait to read the next book. @Netflix -- make this a series!
