Book Reviews of True Blue
Book Review: "Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness." Betrand Russell
Summary: 3 Stars
Former hot-shot, Washington, D.C. cop, Mace Perry gets out of prison after being framed.
Returning to Washington, Mace wants nothing more than getting her job back. Her sister, Beth, is Chief of Police. Mace knows that she can't do anyting official but she knows that if she's able to solve one big case, it could get her back on the job.
Improbably, Beth brings Mace along when she's informed of a homicide. Mace meets Roy Kingman, who discovered the body at his office. Mace overhears Roy's statement and when police leave, she ask more questions and later, she and Roy become friends and work together, unofficially, to attempt to discover who raped and killed Roy's co-worker.
U.S. Attorney Jamie Meldon's body is found. Beth and her staff and the FBI converge at the scene but are ordered off by higher,unnamed authority.
Mace overhears a conversation between Beth and acting Chief District Attorney, Mora Danforth. Mora prosecuted Mace when she was sent to prison and Mace knows that Mora would love to see her fail and be sent back to prison.
The action is steady but much of it is beyond belief. Having the Chief of Police allow an ex-con accompany her to a murder scene seems improbable but more so is when Mace and Roy are cornered by a street gang and Roy challanges the gang leader to a game of one-on-one for his and Mace's life.
Mace is an entertaining character and a person who the reader can sympathize with however, the plot wasn't believable and the ending was contrived.
