The Janes by Louisa Luna
5.0
This is a harrowing tale (the second in the Alice Vaga series, but I didn’t read the first) about finding some young women who are being trafficked.
I was a little confused when they found “the Janes” about half way through the book – but nothing is as simple as one even when human trafficking is involved. Especially when they are young girls (ages 12 to 16) who are being kept in a house, tortured, sold into sex slavery, and killed.
The actual killer won’t surprise you, but I don’t think you’ll see it coming. I didn’t, but I wasn’t surprised.
The author does a great job highlighting the issue of human trafficking while retaining the dignity of the young girls, which I really appreciated. Not a ‘cozy mystery’ by any means, but well done!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
