When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules, a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders - a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman - have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. Darren must solve the crimes before Lark's long-simmering racial fault lines erupt.©2017 Attica Locke (P)2017 Hachette Audio Crime Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense Crime Fiction

On the heels of Darktown I downloaded Bluebird, Bluebird and regretted it almost immediately. After Andre Holland’s narration of Darktown it was always going to be a tall order to deliver with anything close to those rich tones and his effortless performance of the many characters but JD Jackson feels suited to documentary and TV reads - not books. As for Attica Locke’s writing - there’s a strange obsession about the power of the Texas Ranger that became tedious and laughable. And a fascination with making characters feel more real by absurd details of the scent of their breath or clothing. I gave this book a red hot go hoping for it to come good but by the last chapter I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Well that was disappointing
