The Secrets of Newberry Review and Giveaway...



Synopsis:

For Ivory Bones Arcineaux and Hampton Bynote, life in 1950s New Orleans couldn't be sweeter. Friends since they met in an illegal gambling house in Newberry, Louisiana, they have their pick of all the fine women, good food, and hot nights they can handle. They seem to have it made-especially Julian who begins to make a new life for himself after meeting the beautiful, classy Magnolia Garbo at a social. But both men are about to find out that letting the good times roll can be deadly when a simple robbery goes wrong and Hampton witnesses Bones murdering a man in cold blood.

What we thought:

Victor McGlothin weaves an intriguing and fast-paced tale of love, life and deals gone bad in The Secrets of Newberry. I loved the gritty feel of this addictive novel. I could hardly put it down. McGlothin does an amazing job of putting you in 1955 New Orleans and tells this story with expert knowledge of his characters and settings. I loved this novel...it was absolutely thrilling! ABCD Diaries gives The Secrets of Newberry an A+!
