A very quirky gem. Most stories are funny, a few are sad, but all true. If you really want to know what it is like to work at an indie book store, pick this one up.

Great great mystery. Understand why it was an Indie pick for December. Very worthy read.

This book makes you think deeply about race and family dynamics, among other issues. It is a roller coaster ride to the end, wondering exactly how it will end. The story moves along without hesitation to the conclusion, which one can see coming yet hopes that it will turn out differently. It is sure to spark many various discussions, and stay with the reader for a long time.

Ms. Cummins is an eloquent writer and provides an amazing story honoring her cousins and brother, educating the world that we often forget the victims and truth in our need to follow a tragic story.

I really wanted to love this book. I have been a big fan of Grace Kelly since I was a young girl. But no. The language of the book is so flowery - five adjectives where two would have been sufficient. At the end, I felt the author painted Grace as an insecure and shallow woman. I have read so many historical fiction novels recently where the women were strong despite or because of circumstances and this portrait of Grace did not convey that.
