The Trespasser

The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick

Private: Gold
James PattersonErica WrightJames Patterson's comments remind me of the actual sexist things that have been said to me at crime writing conferences including that a woman private investigator isn't believable because all women want is to be grandmothers.
