This certainly ain't the North Carolina I lived in for two years, although I do remember an inordinate number of meth lab busts..... <br/> <br/>Anyway, it's definitely a page turner, but I was a little bit disappointed in it for some reason. Some of the prose is lovely and descriptive, but the characters were all a bit over the top. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/455266?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
