“Look at how hard this woman works. Look how exhausted and beautiful she is. This, my friends, is the true American dream.”

“What I didn’t say to Shannon: disappearing is an expensive magic trick. Did these girls have the funds to pull it off?”

What a gripping thriller! Cosby is 4 for 4 with his releases I have read (still need to read My Darkest Prayer). The premise and all around establishing of Jefferson Run and even the crematory were thorough and felt like real places. Loved it.
