Brilliant

This book was brilliant, an interesting read that I couldn’t put down. A well wrote true story from the wives of twin US informants who helped the US government, bring down the notorious El Chapo and other significant members of the cartel, telling their story for the first time. I really enjoyed it, maybe because It was different to most other crime writing, and this book showed a family’s point of view in a world of crime. I would definitely recommend it to friends, it captured the emotions of the authors and where they were at during the time, I could picture what they were saying. I had not known anything before about the Flores family, and only heard bits about El Chapo, but this book has changed that.
