Why read it?

1 author picked Opposite Sully's Gym as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Another vivid and beguiling mystery from Canadian author Alexis Stefanovich-Thomson. Set in Toronto in the 1960s, the book follows Patrick Bird (the loveable P.I. from Stefanovich-Thomson first novel) as he tries to solve the murder of a reclusive tenant in his mother-in-law’s boarding house. What begins as a gritty, urban whodunnit soon opens-up into a thriller involving an international conspiracy. I haven’t been so wrapped-up in a historical novel since Walter Mosley’s "Devil in a Blue Dress".
