“Loyalty” by Lisa Scottoline
Published by G P Putnum’s Sons
Finished 3/13/23 – 4/5 stars
I’ve only read one of book in her series but have read about a dozen of Lisa Scottoline’s stand alone books and they’ve all been 4 or 5 star reads for me. This is her 2nd attempt at historical fiction, based on the beginning of the mafia in Sicily. Some historical fiction can occasionally feel like a text book has been thrown in while the author inundates you with facts – that’s not the case here. You truly aren’t sure which parts are fact and which parts are fiction because you’re too immersed in the storylines to care. She does spell it all out for you afterwards though.
For those planning to read it (and I truly hope you do), please know there are multiple related storylines going at the same time in alternating chapters. This is one of those books where I honestly think you need a dedicated 30 minutes of reading time to start the book to get a solid “foundation” to keep it all straight. After that, you can easily pick it up and put it down for shorter reading periods.
Thank you to NetGalley and Putnum Books for gifting me with an advanced copy to read and review.
