In Between Tekijä: Kate Birdsall
The author and her wife were at our local film festival with the film based on this book. After seeing the film, I had to get this book for my non-binary child and their trans partner. Kate was trans before we had the words for this. She was confused and always felt out of place as a man. I applaud her for sharing her journey and making it easier on younger people like my child. We all stand on the shoulders of those before us. Thank you Kate.
Detective Liz Boyle, and her partner Tom Goran, are called out at the discovery of a body of a five year old boy. While trying to cope with her own issues there are more problems with people close to her to deal with.
An interesting read and a good start to the series though I am hoping that Boyle's personal problems don't get in the way of future mysteries and that the stories can deal just with the investigation.

Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.THis was good book, I enjoyed it. It is the second in a series but could be read as a stand alone. Iam going back to read the first now. I won a free copy in return for a review.
Book source~ Review copy. My review is voluntary and honest.
Detectives Liz Boyle and Tom Goran have quite a gruesome case to solve. Someone has brutally beaten a local defense attorney to death in a cemetery. But this is no ordinary homicide. The more Liz and Tom dig into the victim’s murder the more nastiness they uncover about police officers in their city of Cleveland. And it’s not good. Not good at all. The Blue Wall of Silence is stopping Liz from getting to the truth, but is it a truth she really wants to deal with?
Wow. This story was written and pubbed right before 2020 imploded, but the subject matter is even more relevant today. Police brutality and systemic racism in the judicial system are hard subjects to address, but it is imperative that they are. While this is an excellent murder mystery the ongoing social issues of today are the backbone of the book except as possibly seen from the inside of the police department by a female detective. Liz is highly conflicted and it’s up to her to do the right thing and resolve her personal issues in order to grow. And she does grow. In fact, she has grown a lot since the first book and I’m proud of her. Stagnant characters do not a good series make.
The investigation takes many turns and I was left guessing until nearly the very end. Terrific writing, a great plot, and excellent characters make this one of my top reads for 2020. I love Detective Liz Boyle, flaws and all.… (lisätietoja)
