You gave this book a good and fair review. The book sounds excellent and especially for a first novel. I look forward to your interview.

I will definitely be looking out for that interview. And I appreciate this review, because I’m not generally drawn to drug-world stories. On the other hand, the New Orleans setting is a draw. I’ll keep this one on my radar.
