Customer Reviews

Amazing! You’ll love this!

I really enjoyed Sara Gran’s Come Closer, so thought I would try this out. So glad I did. Cannot wait to get next two books in the series. Gran’s writing is electric. Characters are unforgettable. Story is unpredictable. Resolution is suitably heartbreaking. Buy this now!

Electric and Endearing

I was hooked and read the entire book in one setting. Claire is my type of PI. This whole series consumed me until I read every word. I'm dying to know more about Claire, Constance, and the mysterious Silette.

Disappointing .Not what I had expected.

I just did not feel New Orleans, or the characters and Claire was especially uninspired . I get Liz Salander and to even see some of her in Claire is a great reach. All in all she is very discombobulated maybe too much booze and pot ?I just could not get interested in any of their lives and neither it seemed could Sara Gran.
