The Color of Justice by

4.0

OK, this book has a lot of cliched characters. Why are the good guys so good looking and the bad guys mostly overweight? And a lot of the conversation about race was stilted and unconvincing. But I still gave it four stars because I liked a lot of the characters and the mystery kept me turning pages. I thought the 1964 section was better done than the 2015 section. There were several things in the second part that seemed too easy. The DNA tests and the internet research was too easy. But I did like how the book tied two mysteries together.

This is a Christian fiction book, but the characters' faith is woven into the book in a subtle manner. It doesn't pound you over the head. I have a Jewish friend who reads some Christian fiction like this because she finds the stories uplifting, and this is a book I could easily recommend to her.
