Am I the only one that couldn't get into this book?
I read it all, but I just had more questions than answers. I get it -- the mob bosses want there to be no heat, but it doesn't seem like their operation has anything to do with missing children .... maybe I just don't understand Chicago gangsters, but it just seemed strange, especially considering this happened 25 years ago, and no one cared then either.
The main character drove me crazy, and did this story really need to be a period piece? Maybe for the whole 'shame' thing to work, I guess, but it just seemed liek things were randomly thrown in there. Freedom Riders was neat, but it was like a throwaway mention.
I finished it, hoping it would get better, but I should've trusted my gut and stopped after the first chapter.
