panI should have bailed but I always get caught up in the “how will it end?!” drama; by the time the end was in site, I was at risk of eyeball injury and annoyed with the inconsistency and repetition. #May2025 Book41
Kudos for multiple strong female characters.

pickThe third and last book in the Coughli trilogy. Just as Joe, we start to wonder who is up to kill him and why. Can he (we?) trust the people around him (us)? I maybe should've skimmed through the previous novels to get allt he details, but the book is readable without deeper kowledge of the previous books. Loved Joe's son and wonder what happened to him after this book ends. Dark, bloody, and lots of trigger warnings. Mafia stuff, you know.
pickI love reading about notable women whose accomplishments are not as well known now. If you‘re looking to read about a mafia trial this is not that — that case is only a small part of the book. The rest of it is about a Black woman who became an attorney when that was rare and it covers her full life. It‘s by her grandson but he doesn‘t lionize her; her flaws are on view. It also has an added element of family lore vs public record.

I think it over. “Same as us, I guess. Stay cool, and never bring the folks together for a meet-and-greet.”
