Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had read some great reviews of this book and others by this author, so I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, I found myself completely turned off by the level of profanity in even just the early chapters... all the “bad words” you can think of as well as the N-word. The author is an African American woman, and I fully believe that Americans of African origin have the right to use that word if they feel they need to or even reclaim it on their terms. But, for me, even seeing that word in print makes me crazy uncomfortable. This is a very slow-burn “thriller,” but I think those two concepts (slow and thriller) do not coexist happily together. This did feel a bit too slow at times. Because of these issues, I found myself disappointed in this book. If you don't mind “thrillers” that are a bit slow in places as well as profanity and other potentially objectionable language, you might enjoy this book better than I did. WARNING: Profanity
