The Savage Noble Death of Babs Dionne by Ron Currie
The book is really well written but the plot left me wanting.
Babs Dionne lives in Little Canada, a French speaking section of Waterville, Maine. She and her fellow elder ladies are in charge of selling drugs in their area. A man is coming as the representative of a large Canadian drug cartel to tell Babs and the rest of the ladies they now work for him. Meanwhile, one of Babs's daughters is missing while the other daughter, a drug addicted Afghan War Vet is looking for her and trying to straighten out her own problems.
It felt good while I was reading it but it was a mess when I think back about it. The characterizations and situations were all really good but the ending left me cold as it was done off screen.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
