Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#11 in series (I started reading this series on 4/6/22 and I have been committed to this series since 8/4/22.)
Will I read other installments?Probably Not Maybe Definitely
There is only one more in the series.
Comparison to others in series:Not as good About the same Better I hardly remember the last book. This was a solid story. Hard to read though because of the racism and how real it is today, maybe worse than when written in 1990.
The narrator was Keith Szarabajka. In other books, Mr. Szarabajka has done these cliche voices for gay men and clinging women. None of that in this reading.

The book is not racist; it is about racism in California in the early 1990s.
