The Day of the Roaring

There's so much I want to say about this book, but I just don't know where to begin. I'm going to assume that you've read the blurb, so I'm not going to give you a synopsis of the book. I am, however, going to tell you that this book may be triggering for you, dealing, as it does, with some sensitive subjects.

The Day of the Roaring is first and foremost a police procedural, but it also deals with the issues of racism, sexism, misogyny, and female genital mutilation (FGM) and the wall of silence that surrounds this barbaric practice.

This is quite a busy book, told from multiple POV's, and with quite the cast of characters. It can feel overwhelming at times, but trust me, it's worth sticking with this thought provoking, gritty read.

Thanks to HarperCollins UK and Netgalley for the digital ARC.
