I come from Staten Island spent 51 years there I lived on the North Shore where the Narrows was and the South Shore where amber lived I've been to the place the black Garter was set, that area always gave me a creepy feeling my guess it gave the author the same feeling. It was like taking a visit. The story was entertaining I loved Det. Waters felt sorry for Amber and rooted for Maureen, it had a slow start then picked up to a nice pace.

Wow, I really felt like I was actually a part of Mardi Gras reading this book. The author did a great job putting me there. I actually felt the rush, the tensions and just a little claustrophobic. I'm sure that it helped that I had been to Mardi Gras in Galveston. However, this book put me right back there.

The characters in this book were very well developed and I grew to like them immediately (well, except for one) and to feel for the pressures of their jobs. Dealing with multiple gunshots in the middle of Mardi Gras and the pressures and issues of having to do their jobs? I felt for these characters.

A wonderful story that I just ripped right through, enjoyed the feelings it brought and meeting these characters.

Thanks to Farar, Straus & Giroux and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Maureen Coughlin is an outsider on the New Orleans Police Department but she is determined to make a place for herself on the force. When an investigation raises some red flags about her fellow officers, Maureen looks the other way -- but she's not happy about it. Is being a team player and making a new start worth sacrificing her professional ethics?

Life isn't panning out for Maureen Coughlin. At 29, the tough-skinned Staten Island Native's only excite comes from - well - not much. A fresh pack of American Spirits, maybe, or a discreet dash of coke before work. If something doesn't change soon, she'll end up a "lifer" at the Narrows, the faux-swank bar where she works one long night after another. But just like the island, the Narrows has its seamy side. After work one night, Maureen walks in on a tryst between her co-worker Dennis and Frank Sebastian, a silver-haired politico. When Sebastian demands her silence, Maureen is more than happy to forget what she's seen - until Dennis turns up dead on the train tracks the next morning.… (altro)
