Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20
Meet Detective Charlotte Justice, a black woman in the very white, very male, and sometimes very racist LAPD. It is 48 hours into the LA riots, and she and her fellow officers are exhausted. She saves curfew-breaking black doctor Lance Mitchell from a potentially lethal beating from some white officers -- only to discover nearby the body of one-time radical Cinque Lewis, the thug who years before had murdered her husband and young daughter. Was it a random shooting or was Mitchell responsible?

I've Found a New Favorite!
Reviewed: 09-21-22
I started reading Nancy Drew in the 3rd grade and detective novels have always been my favorite. I've devoted this summer to the genre exploring Walter Moseley, Chester B. Himes and now, Paula L. Woods. Inner City Blues is a well developed story with all the mystery and plot twists you hope for a detective novel. The characters are well-drawn and real. I truly enjoyed getting to know Charlotte's family, friends and co-wrokers. The players and their descriptions made the plot positively tantalizing. WARNING: The audio performance is not great - but don't let that stop you from enjoying this book!
