Jessica Mitchell, a new reporter for channel 7, has just witnessed her first story. A man named Edward Hill was brutally murdered. AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY! Sarah Andrews, a lawyer as well as feminist and activist, is leading a rally for safer streets. Her roommate Kim, was a victim of a rape only a year previously, by a man named Edward Hill. Jessica wants to get involved in the story, but the police and the lawyers want her away from it. But she persisted. She refused to give up. A REALLY GOOD BOOK by the author of SAVAGE JUSTICE.
I read this for my family’s book club, a pretty obscure crime/police drama from the 1990s - my aunt picked it, I think, because of the local author, a former WCCO reporter. I liked all the Minnesota connections but otherwise this fell really flat for me. Very dated when it comes to writing about sexual assault, cheesy dialogue and just not my kind of book - but it wasn’t boring so at least I kept turning the pages!
