At first you think that the title hints at Dennis and Edward's brotherly relationship, and while it does, it's about something else that takes centre stage. I love how there are double meanings in the titles.
The investigation went as well as you'd expect, with Peabody's side comments for comic relief, which is very welcome. This one might not be as gory as Devoted, but Brotherhood can be difficult to read, or at least to wrap your head around the heinous crimes that went unpunished for decades. Peabody and Trueheart were my angst-free islands in this book.
It's fun to see Trueheart as a detective now, and listening to the audiobook, I like to think that I can hear Eve's pride in calling him "detective" instead of "officer." She usually calls her detectives just by their last name but it's "Detective Trueheart" in this book lol.
