Blanche Passes Go by Barbara Neely

3.0

4th Blanche White mystery. Blanche returns to her hometown in North Carolina for the summer to help her best friend Ardell in her new catering business. She encounters the white man who raped her 8 years ago, and has an opportunity to learn more about him and possibly seek revenge. Warning: there are a few brief but graphic descriptions of this rape. Blanche's relationships with Ardell, her mother, and the new man in her life feel very real - they are all complicated and interesting people.
