It was really well written but I feel like it wasn’t faced paced throughout the book as reviews on the book promised. Only the end was super fast paced. I really enjoyed it but I feel like if it was shortened a bit we would have gotten that fast paced feeling they advertised it as. It was dragging a bit in the beginning/middle. Not super predictable either which I enjoyed. Would recommend you read it in a shorter time period so you don’t feel that dragging on feeling as much. I did enjoy it very much though. Will be looking for this author again definitely!

I picked this up on a remainders table at B&N - it was an entertaining summer read. Suspenseful and dark-fluffy.

A very compelling read. Dark story. The writing wasn't the greatest, but the suspense kept me rapidly turning pages.

Compelling, but one of the facets of the ending happened in exactly the way I hoped it wouldn't. One of the secondary characters was not as fully-formed as she should have been for her role in the book and the protagonist's life. Finally, one of the aspects of the protagonist's life was never explained to an appreciable extent. All that being said, if you're looking for a good thriller ride against the backdrop of Nawlins, this isn't a bad choice.

Oh, Ms. Dreyer. Your flagrant references to places I know in St. Louis amuse me, and your consistently entertaining mystery/romances never fail to, well, entertain. Throw in a little New Orleans, too, and I'm hooked.

Sinners and Saints is about three sisters who were physically and emotionally abused as children. One has committed suicide, one is missing, and the other is trying to find her missing sister. Chastity Byrnes receives a call from her brother-in-law asking her to come to New Orleans to help him find his missing wife. Once Chastity arrives in New Orleans, she finds help from a fellow forensic nurse and her cousin who drives a cab. Their search leads to lots of twists, turns, and revelations involving Chastity's past, all of which come into play before the story ends. Though I've never read anything by Dreyer before, I really enjoyed this suspense mystery.
