Borrow Trouble

I have always loved Mary Monroe. She has always been able to spin a strong narrative and she certainly had you on the tips of your toes with this one. She made us think of the dangerous that can lurk when you go off to a deserted and unknown location looking for fun and pleasure. She always find a good niche to a narrative and I must say that I was shocked with the ending. Victor Mc Clothin had only read from some multi series. I like Baltimore Floyd. He was certainly different from most men of his era. He was a musician, pimp and a street hustler with much game. He was always ahead of the enemy. Some of the gangster activity was a little over my head but I got the gist. I will keep an eye for his works in the future.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sister, "Bad Luck Shadow" by Victor McGlothin introduces us to Baltimore Floyd. If you thought Walter Moseley's Easy Rawlings was the man, look out because Baltimore is in the house. Baltimore comes at just the right time. Walter Moseley now has Easy in current times as an old man and Victor takes us right back to a time when Men were men and ladies are ladies. Back to a time when men wore brims and were dressed to the nines. Baltimore doesn't need Mouse as a side kick or to do his dirty work, the brother has no fear. Victor thanks for Baltimore and I'll be standing in line waiting to hear what Baltimore is up to next. RIP Easy Rawlings and move over Walter Moseley, Baltimore Floyd and Victor McGlothin are on the scene.

This book keeps you hanging on the edge! I have always loved Monroe, but had never heard of McGlothin. McGlothin is my next new author. This book keeps you hanging until the end and then craving the next one.

I really enjoyed this novel. I am an avid reader of Mary Monroe.

Mary Monroe's story 'Nightmare in Paradise' will have you saying 'What looks good to you is not always good for you' and this story definitely fits that description! Great story but her stories always are! Victor McGlothin's story 'Bad Luck Shadow' takes you back in time when pimps were pimps and hustlers were hustlers! You will fall in love with Baltimore Floyd because despite the hustles that he pulls, you will find that he has a kind heart. Victor took us in a different direction with this story if you have read his previous books and he did it in style! Another great story by Victor McGlothin!
