About the author

It was a fun read until I got to a part where Gates has an elderly black man speak in dialect--"I's gonna call my son." Ouch. Yes, some black people speak like this and we shouldn't respect them any less, but it is still demeaning for a white author to put this in print.

Great read if you like the mystery genre. Very first book by this author, and I will be reading more of her work soon.

The first half of this book was great. I was reading it very fast. Just past the half way point things started not making a lot of sense and even frivolous. They made the story to complex to even try to describe here. The ended was not good at all.

An easy and quick read with entertaining moments.
