Publisher's summary

I can do this....

Gabrielle, an "at-risk" young lady coming from a poor neighborhood in New York City, finished her college degree last semester. She was working for peanuts at the time when a better job came through, requiring her to move 200 miles away from home to Boston to work for a new startup.

A blessing in disguise....

Mentally and physically drained from the urban nuisances, she braced herself to take advantage of this newfound opportunity, hoping to officially launch her working career. She didn't know that the history of bias and xenophobia in Boston may test the patience and perseverance of this young African American. But Gabrielle would be willing to risk it all for a better lifestyle.

First day on the job and Gabrielle could lose her freedom after being charged with a crime that no one imagined could have taken place.

Any additional comments?

This story made my day indeed. It is not a lengthy story but has something to enjoy really. The plot is impressive here. The characters are colorful and improved. I highly recommend this book.

Murder

On Gabrielle first day at work nothing goes right but to top it off her new boss winds up dead. Who killed him and why? I received this review audio book upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

What an awesome short story

One of my colleagues suggested me this story in audible version and I've just called him to say him thanks for suggesting me this interesting story. The author presented a girl here as main character which is an improved character. Grab it, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Not bad

Not allowed a story I also don’t believe please officer would be so open with his investigation and all wrapped up very quickly. I do think the narrator today good job and has a nice voice.

Interesting story about homegirl!

I love this story about a young African-American woman. The narrator makes this story very believable. She shares her day-to-day activities and struggles. Then it becomes a murder mystery and she looks guilty. Read on or listen!!! I did and liked it.

Not enough meat in this short story

I understand that it's a short story, but the entire thing was still too diluted to be complete for my taste. I spent the entire time waiting for some clarification on what was happening. It was just okay for me.

Awesome Author, Excellent Narrator

Well done Eric Reese!
It is really a job well done by this author. I just spent almost 4 dollars only and in such a low amount I've got a short but excellent story. I wish it would be long a bit. But in this price you must not miss this interesting story.

Mystery

This is a short story murder mystery. Really short but good. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but needed to be longer.

Short story

This was an interesting short story that I listened to in one day. There was even a murder mystery that I was not expecting but gave the book an interesting twist to it.
My only negative is that I would have liked a little more depth but other then this it is a good short story.

Looking Forward to Book 2...

I had some concerns with a book being less than 1 hour. But, Eric Reese you surprised me. You brought it on and it was EXPLOSIVE! You gave me something that had me at a WOW!!! You made me greedy, wanting more. When it was over I was at a loss for words and I said to myself; "I can't wait to get to book 2." So, you did it! You made me want more.

The narrator Tiana Melvina Woods really poured her heart and soul into her visual storytelling. She gave it and she gave it good. This was my 1st opportunity to hear her and I'm glad I had the opportunity.

I do recommend this book to others, and I'm looking forward in Book 2, of finding out who did it, and how it all ends.
