Cartel Wives
Cartel Wives: A True Story of Deadly Decisions, Steadfast Love, and Bringing Down El Chapo | Mia Flores, Olivia Flores
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
An astonishing, revelatory, and redemptive memoir from two women who escaped the international drug trade, with never-before-revealed details about El Chapo, the Sinaloa Cartel, and the dangerous world of illicit drugs. Olivia and Mia Flores are married to the highest level drug traffickers ever to become US informants. Their husbands worked with--and then brought down--El Chapo, as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels. They had everything money could buy: luxury cars, huge houses, and expensive jewelry--but they chose to give it all up when they cooperated with the US government. They knew that life was about more than wealth; it was about love, family, and doing what's right. CARTEL WIVES is a love story, a "Married to the Mob" story, an insider's look into the terrifying but high-flying empire of the new world of drugs, and, finally, the story of a major DEA and FBI operation.

This was an interesting read and had some really dramatic moments. It's very clear that it's written from the wives pov but it's very real at the same time. I'd love to see this same story told from their husbands pov to compare. The ending was still slightly open as of course this is still on going. It was good to see that the men did hold their hands up and admit they were guilty.
