Wow...this book seems so suspenseful. Why did Joey disappear and what was buried in the basement. Sounds like a big mystery in it. I bet this books will captivate many thriller novel readers. I like your review also.

I love the mystery aspect of people disappearing after they own this tavern. And, I'm a huge fan of historical fiction that revolves around Polish people who lived in the US during the 1920s.

This seems like a novel with a lot going on. Mysteries to solve, historical fiction, gang wars, well-developed characters, and drama, this sounds right up my alley.

The background setting of the Polish-American community in the 1920s sounds very interesting. It was a time of constant immigration to America and I am curious to read about the lives of the protagonists. Congrats on BOTD.

The suspense I believe this book oozes is more than just a fantasy feeling, the author's an artist. I'll be sitting for this book this weekend.

I can't wait to unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of the owners of the tavern. There is never a disappearance without the presence of a strong-headed detective or even a curious human. This is going to be interesting to read. Great review.

Trapped in Glass by Pam Records is a story that follows the lives of two sisters of Polish ancestry, Halina and Patcja. In this book, there is mystery revolving around the club ownership. The first and the second owner went missing mysteriously. What could be the reason ? Who is involved ? Is there a solution to this ?

It’d be interesting to read a Prohibition-era novel from the perspective of immigrants. The mystery and mob elements are often compelling, but if the history and cultural elements are handled well, exploring characters that are new to America and/or not English-descended can be informative and provide well-developed characters. Thank you for the helpful review.
