There
is lots of suspense in this novel as Cecile teams up with a fellow. I
felt the action was a bit repetitive. The same kinds of near
successes happened again and again. I almost felt the plot was better
suited for a novella length. Tolsma portrayed well the situation in
the south during the Great Depression. The power wielded by a few in
the city was also well presented. The contrast between a loving
mother and a heartless adoption agency owner may have been a little
overdone.
I
am enjoying this series on historical crimes in America as it has
introduced me to different historical settings and events about which
I knew nothing. I will be looking forward to the next in the series.

My
rating: 4/5 stars.
