J’ai adoré ma lecture, j’ai été très vite happée par l’histoire et l’écriture fluide des auteurs.

Adela Cobb est femme de ménage, noire, veuve et mère de famille. Bud Larkin est un détective privé alcoolique, raciste et quelque peu grincheux. Quand une fillette noire est retrouvée morte, la police ne s’en préoccupe pas vraiment. Mais d’autres petites filles noires disparaissent par la suite…
Bud accepte de mener son enquête pour le père de la première victime. Adela, elle, se pose des questions sur ces mystérieuses disparitions.

Sur fond d’une Amérique divisée par la ségrégation, ce roman m’a captivée, offrant une vraie plongée dans les États-Unis des années 1960.
Les personnages sont bien écrits et vraiment attachants. Un binôme atypique qui nous emmène au coeur de l’enquête [mais pas que].
