My Thoughts:

The characters in this book were all interesting. In Gallup, Greed has a good selection of characters all with a connection to each other. They had secrets and at times I wasn't sure if they were lying or being truthful. I thought that the partnership of Cinnamon and Burro was great, they worked really well together.

I really enjoyed the mystery of who murdered Lonnie running throughout this book. I also found the search for Cinnamon's mother a good addition to the plot. The story moved at a good pace with bits and pieces revealed along the way.  

This isn't the first book in the Cinnamon/Burro New Mexico Mysteries but it is easy to follow so I would say it can be read as a standalone. 

Overall:

If you like a whodunit or mystery definitely give In Gallup, Greed a try!

Four stars from me!
