This is the first good one in a long while! It was like the dead junkie in the bathtub type of case where one murder led to something much bigger--but the way how this case unfolded was even better, because it truly does start small and grow big. The book puts a spotlight on Eve and the other cops fighting (and winning, of course) against bigotry in society. This case is definitely worthy of being Nadine's next book ! Asides from the case, we get an update on Mavis and big changes in her life. The book has a nice balance of daily life stuff and case stuff.
Moderate: Violence, Forced institutionalization, and Religious bigotry
Minor: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Hate crime, Homophobia, Misogyny, Racism, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Slavery, Suicide, Torture, Toxic relationship, Transphobia, Trafficking, and Kidnapping
