Customer Reviews

what an ending!

why I'll never know, but I have several close friends who hail from Troy, NY. So this book is a godsend, a look at Troy from an insider, even if it is of a century or so ago. While it was a bit slow in the beginnning, Casey's tale picks up and holds your interest right up to the incredible ending (will not give it away, but am sure any reader will be as shocked at certain injustice as I was). If you like mystery, murder, and mayhem, this is a great read.
