Blind Eye #3
Blind Faith
In the detective business, the ordinary can quickly become deadly.
When private investigator Yoshi Yakamota and the Blind Eye Detective Agency are hired to find a woman’s missing sister, the assignment seems fairly mundane. Then two teens fall to their death from a rocky oceanside cliff in what appears to be a tragic accident. Although the events seem unrelated, they have one thing in the controversial Pioneer Institute, a residential ex-gay youth program. Will sending a Blind Eye team member undercover reveal what’s behind the school’s terrible safety record, or will it just put the spy in harm’s way?

There are precisely four books in the non YA Gay & Lesbian section of my library's app... not a whole lot to choose from. This was one of them! And I'm not sure why it was chosen - perhaps because it is one of few books I've come across that deal with the L of LGBT.
That said, it felt like it could do with a little more editing. The plot could have been sharpened a lot more, so that it felt less like a low budget film. Perhaps I'm being unkind as I picked this up right after reading a very accomplished spy/action book... and perhaps I judge to a higher standard simply because I WANT there to be more good LGBT fiction that I can point to and get people to read so that they'll better empathise with real-life LGBT people in their lives.
Good points though: it was a quick read, that I can imagine enjoying if I didn't want to engage my brain 100% - like pulp fiction, but with less misogyny. Perhaps a good poolside read after a few Bloody Marys. 3/5 rounded up from 2.5.
