There is a lot going on in this story that keeps it interesting from start to finish.
As we all know, Adele has a flair for the dramatics and she does not disappoint us in On the Hook bt Betty Hechtman. Molly also has a new friend, Leo, who just might be some competition for Barry and Mason.
I really enjoyed this book and there was enough going on that I didn't realize I was at the tail end!
Ms. Hechtman is a talented writer and as a crocheter, I am always interested in what the Tarzana Hookers are up to.
I volunteered to read and review an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.
