I guess if she did, there wouldn't be much of a story left. Wrongful arrests and convictions are as disturbing to read about in fiction as they are in real life and probably the worst form of miscarriage of justice.Prashant C.

That said though, this does sound like a solid police procedural that addresses issues at a human level. And that's where issues have their most profound impact. I think that's why I like best mysteries that address issues that way. Thanks for a fine review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
