It is complicated: Loyalty (by Lisa Scottoline)

#Loyalty #NetGalley

I read many books in the series by this author that began with Everywhere that Mary Went. Over the years, Scottoline began to explore other kinds of fiction and wrote a number of standalones. This is an historical fiction title and one worth reading.

The author has penned a rather complicated story that involves kidnapping, hospitalization in a psychiatric facility, the beginnings of the Mafia, a Jewish character trying to stay alive, loyalty and relationships in many forms. Quite a lot to take on but Scottoline handles all of this very well while also bringing Sicily in the 1800s to life.

Historical fiction fans may well want to give this one a look.

Many thanks to Penguin Group and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.
