I really enjoyed On The Sly. The book uses a first person narrator, Sylvia and I really connected with her voice. I read a lot of thrillers / crime novels, but this book offered something a little different. Sylvia is a great character, tough, and determined to find out why her bar has been target rather than leave it to the hapless police. This is well-written, engaging and totally enjoyable. I had a great time with this book.
