Blood Betrayal by Ausma Zehanat Khan
5.0
This is the second in a series, and I do recommend reading the first book prior to this one. While sometimes with series you can jump ahead, the beauty of both novels is the characters, thus I think it is very helpful to start with the first to fully appreciate character development, and their respective viewpoints/relationships.
I am really so impressed by her ability to create compelling and believable characters in this series, as well as her previous series primarily set in Canada featuring Rachel Getty and Esa Khattak. That series starts with The Unquiet Dead; I must have read that series prior to fully using Goodreads since I haven't rated them here (all would have been rated 4's or 5's).
The Blackwater Falls series is set in Colorado, and Inaya is the main character but she has many friends and colleagues that make this such a compelling read. Family relationships, trauma, politics, racism, are all dealt with realistically and thoughtfully.
The two cases depicted here are interesting, with plausible killers and realistic resolutions. I will definitely continue reading this series.
