3.0

A perfectly satisfactory book with some fun plot points, though the heavy handed anti-Greek and anti-Mexican sentiments almost ruined it for me; Cora placing so much importance on being seen as White was off-putting.

Rather than a mystery, it's more of a romance. It's also an older story, so the wording can be a bit confusing at times; other than getting quite lost
during Katz's post-trial monologue
it was followable.
