Welp My Netgalley percentage has dropped below 80%, so I figured I should review the book I literally finished the day I was told to stay home from work because of the first COVID case in NYC.
Yeah sorry, this wasn't a book I could find the mental strength to review as the world starting closing down??
Review:
Thank you Netgalley and Gallery Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! IF you’re looking to go some place while you’re on social distancing, why not consider the dirty, grimy, hopeless Atlantic City?
My biggest note on this book: don’t read it at the same time as Know My Name by Chanel Miller. It just kind of makes you hate men and have no hope that anything will be okay. That being said, I generally loved the atmosphere of this book. Despite having lived in NYC for nearly 5 years, I haven’t gone down to Atlantic City. I don’t know if it’s really how it is described in the book, but Mullen does a great job of painting the downfall of a city.
I overall enjoyed this book. Its pacing is a bit slow for me through out -- I am coming to find that I like my mysteries cozy, or action packed. This one fell into a slow crawl of a mystery, likely because a good portion of the book's focus is on Atlantic City itself.
