Wanted to read, based on the description, but was unable to read using the blue fire app, then google play, kindle, libra reader all caution that the file was corrupted and never read it.

Very good story with the perfect illustrations to go with it. One of the best graphic novel I read recently.

This was one incredible book. With gorgeous illustrations, a thoroughly plotted and executed plot, intriguing characters, and a captivating storyline, the only thing that topped it off with even more greatness was the stunning sketch gallery at the end.

Not only does it have relatable, likeable characters – despite everyone being a criminal, in some kind of capacity – it also has the historical accuracy and a twist on the crime noir and mobster aspects that make it unique. The originality of the safe house idea, run by women!, and the concept of Claire doing all she can to get the appropriate revenge for a wrong done to one of her girls is genius. As a woman, I loved seeing a strong female lead, one written with respect, understanding, and clarity, but who was portrayed as just an ordinary woman trying to get by. I loved the illustrations of her; not overly sexual, as in some comics, but suitably feminine and professional whenever necessary.

I can't rave about this book enough. I'd buy it in paperback tomorrow, it's that good.
