Wow this book was so good. Multi layered in racism, corruption (especially of a politician), deceit, lies and more! This is a complex story but with quick, short chapters... It flew by quickly and I loved every part of the mystery.

Two women, Dani and Vera, are at the center of the novel but there are some side characters that are really strong too.

Vera is trying to get the police to find out who murdered her son but it looks like she'll have to take the investigation into her own hands. Dani is a compulsive liar (so much that she doesn't even realize she's lying until the words are out of her mouth) but she agrees to help Vera. The way these two women were bonded was out of tragedy and circumstances being their control. I did like the growth that Dani underwent.
