Title: Not a murder myster, but a one sided debate on race in USA
Review: Carter has written a 657 page book on racisim in America, which is a very important subject, however he was paid to write a murder mystery. From the first page it is obvious that the mysterious murder of his judge father is only a subplot. Conversations that lead to evidence are broken allowing the author to vent on race, affirmative action, and his never ending fear that his wife is cheating on him. I could not get into this book. I found myself skiming pages, trying to find some, any, element of plot in this heavy handed, one-sided, lecture on how Carter views race relations in America. Maybe he should write that book and not a surgar coated nonexistant murder mystery.
Is the review positive or negative?
