2.0

This book had Issues. The writing and the plot merited perhaps three stars, a fairly routine thriller, but depiction of characters both major and minor gave me much pause. The author made an effort to depict racial tensions and issues in police work throughout the story, and they were integral parts of characters' personal arcs.

I understand the author was trying to treat these important issues fairly. But these caricatured discussions and situations - somehow separate from the otherwise fairly well-sketched personalities of the characters - made it hard for me to be immersed in and enjoy the book.
