A review by sde
The Blackbird Season by Kate Moretti

3.0

Great book to listen to on audio. Compelling story, and thought the author did a decent job of describing what ti can be like to parent an autistic child. (I am not one of these parents, but know enough of them who occasionally express frustrations similar to the parents in the book.) But I didn't give it four stars because there were some semi-big things that happen around the solving of the mystery that didn't seem realistic. Most of them involved the cop. Don't think he would be so personally involved nor allow Bridget to go wandering around potentially messing up the investigation. Also, the final solution of the crime wasn't that convincing. But the author did a good job of getting the reader to believe and doubt and then believe and doubt many of the characters.
