Reviews

[CLM]

I was thrilled when the editor of this novel let me read it in manuscript form when I was working at BDD. Of course, if this had been a book, she would have given me a job in editorial (and I would have eventually discovered JK Rowling), instead of forgetting my name the next time she saw me...

MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD was going to be a one star review up until the last 20%. It’s very dated and stereotypes Italians as mobsters, but the ending made me add a star.
