DEATH WITH A DARK RED ROSE by Julia Buckley

This book deals with Industrial America’s putting profit over environmental concerns and lives. I started reading it as the cornoavirus arrive and I had difficult handing the story. On the reread the several people have disappeared and a plastic management is planning a new plant that will drain into Blue Lake. The the person who disappear have some connections to the plastic plant. I recommend this book and series.

SARAH’S LIST by Elizabeth Gunn

An outstanding police procedural and the 7th book in the series. Sarah Burke is a Tucson, Arizona homicide detective who achieve her job by hard work and is one of the first woman accepted in TPD. They will work as stand-alone as each crime is solved in each book. You will missed the back story of Sarah’s life which interesting. The book is trendy as it handles a police shooting. Sarah has no choice but to pull the trigger. I highly recommend this book and series.

Ms Gunn has another series set in Minnesota. A baby is found in dumpster and his race is undetermined. He grew up in the foster system. His police career is followed. The first book is TRIPLE PLAY.
