"You wrote about the riot I was in!" were the first words Sin Soracco ever said to me.

Although Low Bite is fiction, Sin too also wrote about the riot that she was in. And the prison she was in.

I tore through the book. Can't wait for her next book to come out.

While parts of this book are engaging, I'm afraid the most interesting aspect to it is the author's name. The writing and characters and storyline are all adequate, but there's not much depth. I'm fairly sure that was purposeful, but a side-effect is that no aspect of the book is engaging enough to make you feel with the story or even really drive you to keep going. It sat by the bathtub for the duration of time it took me to read it, and it never occurred to me to curl up with it under a lamp to finish or even read the next chapter.

From Publishers Weekly
This offbeat first novel is more slice-of-life than mystery. Nonetheless, it tells a gripping story concerning a group of women in a California prison: their crimes, their relationships, their hopes and dreams. Morgan, the narrator, spends her time in the law library, dispensing legal counsel and brewing moonshine. To pass the endless days, she decides, along with Alexander, a young lawyer who teaches at the prison, to untangle the mystery behind the death of a fellow inmate's husband. China, an illegal Mexican immigrant, has been convicted of conspiracy to murder her spouse, but she vehemently declares her innocence, while scheming with her brother-in-law to get their hands on her late husband's money. As the mystery deepens and prison conditions deteriorate, the truth is revealed to Morgan in a surprising twist. Though the prose is somewhat overblown. Soracco's story is intriguing.
