Why did H.R. love this book?
I enjoy slow-burn, deep novels with a storyline that draws on real and serious issues. The Collaborator took me inside the callous world of mafia families, exposing the horror of their "business model" and the demand for loyalty at all costs. I love to explore this world from a safe place, and this book challenged my preconceived ideas.
The focus on justice and doing what’s right in the face of overwhelming odds is compelling and represents the kind of story I enjoy most. It’s a story of courage; it’s gripping and intense, although not an action story in the traditional sense.
It is thought-provoking, complex, and deep, just as I like my stories.
