Desperate Season (Seasons Mystery, #3)

by Maryann Miller

This is a police procedural that starts with a girl dying in a park. This leads the Police towards drugs and trying to get the one who supplies the new drug arrested.

The two main characters are okay to read. This book deals with racial tensions and navigating that, along with Police prejudice that people have.

This is an easy read and not hard to follow but I did have some issue with plot choices and dialogue choices. I know that there are people out there who think and behave like some of these characters, but I don't necessary know if that is how they would speak.

Towards the end they had one suspect in custody who asked for his lawyer, but the cops were talking like he can see his lawyer afterwards. Right at that moment, there was an incident at the police station that had all cops going towards it. The interrogation never started but it did seem like the police weren't going to let him call his lawyer, which should not happen in real life, especially if the cops in the book are being portrayed as good cops. That is just how it seemed to me, but we'll never know since the interrogation never happened. But that part did bother me just a bit.

Overall, it's just a basic police procedural thriller book. It's a easy read.

I won this in a giveaway.
