November road

11/26/2020

For November, we appropriately read November Road. One reader worried about the level of violence but ended up appreciating the book quite a bit. We all did. I had some questions about one of Guidry's final choices, but we agreed the book was well-written, the characters were interesting and believable, and the level of suspense pulled us right in.
