A lively story with engaging characters and fascinating bits about British colonial governance in Fiji. Rao’s second tale about Sgt. Akal (after A Disappearance in Fiji) is first-rate.
The frequent action-packed martial arts sequences are well-written but slow down the plot, though the cliffhanger ending will bring readers back for more of Dee’s adventures. Recommend to fans of Laurie R. King.
The author of Where They Last Saw Her brings back Cash Blackbear (who last appeared in 2022’s Sinister Graves) in a tragic, unforgiving crime novel that emphasizes the perils of the foster care system for Indigenous children.
Quartey’s author’s note discusses the current anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation in Ghana and its effect on him as a queer author. Recommended for readers who enjoy international fiction and detective fiction.
A mashup of crime thriller and queer romance, this fascinating fairy tale retelling has a decidedly un-fairytale-like ending but showcases the power of two very different women who risk everything to be free.
