The Stories You Tell

Better than the 2nd book! I appreciate that the book highlighted police violence against black and brown violence for such a cop-heavy book that always felt awkwardly ignored to me. However

Tom basically defends the guy who shot a brown boy for no reason , and Roxanne is pissed at the moment but by the end they still end up together? Huh?

Other than that I still love Roxanne, the mysteries are nice and all but she carries these books. I like that her sexuality (she is bisexual) matters beyond just her love interests (BOTH OF WHICH SUCK but never mind that), it is something that is part of her character regardless of her love life.

Another great addition to this outstanding private detective procedural series. Kristen Lepionka's writing is smart and skilled, and her storytelling is engaging and current without being “ripped from the headlines” at all. Highly recommend this series.
