The Summer Children
by Dot Hutchison
Agent Mercedes Ramirez begins to have bloodied children delivered to her door who claim an angel saved them from abusive parents. But what happens when this angel starts making mistakes and the children aren’t really being harmed? Mercedes must uncover who this serial killer is and the answer lies in her old cases.
I loved this book. Mercedes' character is so beautiful and I got a better feel of the dynamic of the team even after reading two books following the same team. I really, really wanted to give this book five stars but I just couldn't. My only problem with this book was the Spanish used here and there. As a native Spanish user, interjections were too random and unbalanced. You can tell when a language isn’t the author’s native tongue or even well-versed in casual conversation with the language. Other than that, Mercedes is a lesbian and my third gay eye knew it. – Also, too that one reviewer whose tone felt almost offended about Mercedes sexuality coming up out of nowhere: it is literally mentioned in the book before this one that she is dating a girl. No surprises here. Also, there doesn't need to be any hints that indicate sexuality, just let characters (and real people) be.
And while I'm on it, the running joke of the whole workforce thinking Eddison and Ramirez are f*cking is so excessive and like we get it... people can touch or seek comfort in others without jumping to the conclusion that they are somehow sexually involved. It felt like the characters were a little too obsessed with everyone thinking that that their actions seemed to always never be the innocence and comfort they actually were.
