Review of 'By Nightfall' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is a powerful book, told from the POV of Peter. Peter is an art dealer, and while he's not a big time player, he loves his job. Thinks get turned upside down when his wife's brother Mizzy(short for Mistake) shows up claiming to want to clean up his act and do "something in Art". We really see the world through Peter's eyes, and I especially liked how his interior monologue was interjected into conversations so we know what he really wanted to say.
