Book Overview
An astonishing, revelatory, and redemptive memoir from two women who escaped the international drug trade, with never-before-revealed details about El Chapo, the Sinaloa Cartel, and the dangerous world of illicit drugs. Olivia and Mia Flores are married to the highest level drug traffickers ever to become US informants. Their husbands worked with--and then brought down--El Chapo, as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels. They had everything money could buy: luxury cars, huge houses, and expensive jewelry--but they chose to give it all up when they cooperated with the US government. They knew that life was about more than wealth; it was about love, family, and doing what's right. Cartel Wives is a love story, a "Married to the Mob" story, an insider's look into the terrifying but high-flying empire of the new world of drugs, and, finally, the story of a major DEA and FBI operation.

Brilliant

This book was brilliant, an interesting read that I couldn’t put down. A well wrote true story from the wives of twin US informants who helped the US government, bring down the notorious El Chapo and other significant members of the cartel, telling their story for the first time. I really enjoyed it, maybe because It was different to most other crime writing, and this book showed a family’s point of view in a world of crime. I would definitely recommend it to friends, it captured the emotions of the authors and where they were at during the time, I could picture what they were saying. I had not known anything before about the Flores family, and only heard bits about El Chapo, but this book has changed that.
