As with the best historical fiction, this book remains authentic to the period, which adds so much to the stakes of the main characters. Great characterizations, dialogue is spot on, setting is really evocative (the first introduction to all the wings of the prison is so claustrophobic). Great read - I highly recommend it! (

This book is so well written in the pulp fiction style of the 50's & 60's that I had to double-check its publishing date (2011). It is inspired by the 1956 British film "Yield to the Night" (called "Blonde Sinner" in the US). The story provides a good look at societal prejudices of the 1950's and 60's. (
