Written as a thriller in an invigorating way, this book also brings forward many tough issues in present and past Downton Los Angeles. Such issues as prostitution, race, and poverty. This was a perfect read during the current political and equality movement going on in our country!

One such part in the book which may seem insignificant in prior times, is when one of the characters describes why the houses in downtown LA have bars on the windows and doors due to the past LA riots in the ‘90s. As a Californian myself, this was not a fact I knew about the Los Angeles history. I truly appreciated that bit of insight.

Thriller wise, I think this story stood out as a part of human equal rights as well as your typical murder mystery! It was a fantastic read.
