The Inlet is a novel rich in plot and full of wonderful characters. We meet lovers, mafia bosses, their families, and their henchmen. Of course, the underlying theme is love, and there is lots of it. But more than that, the novel treats us to one plot twist after the other. The reader is constantly surprised that things never develop as they expect them to. This sweeping tale takes us from the New York metropolitan area, to romantic hideaways in upstate New York, and to luxury apartments in South Florida. It is a page turning good read.
