Review: Not Much Joe Costa, Too Much Lily
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 7, 2013
I misunderstood the note about this book following Book 1 and thought it was Book 4, just not published until now.  It really should be called Book 1A since it starts up right where Book 1 ended.  Also, it was really a story about a beautiful con artist, and Joe Costa was only in a few chapters.  Lily's con game was not very believable and every time she talked to someone, she called them "dear" or "dearheart" which to me added to her fakeness.Also there were some editing/proofreading problems in that words were often missing or added, such as "Joe and Lily went to District Attorney's office." or "... he handed her a five twenties."  It wasn't hard to figure out that "the" was missing or that "a" was added in error, but when it started to happen often, I found it irritating.All in all I was disappointed in this book and hope that if there is another Joe Costa book, it really will be Book 4 in chronology, with Joe Costa as the main character.
