Welcome to Litsy!

4 Stars • A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacci is a legal drama set in 1968 Virginia, where a racially-charged murder case becomes a pivotal point following the Civil Rights Act. The story revolves around the defense of Jerome Washington, a Black man accused of killing a wealthy, white couple, by a white lawyer named Jack Lee and a Black lawyer named Desiree DuBose. ⬇️

Great characters, interesting mystery, a lot of race relations lecturing but plot generated and on point so not off putting. Recommended for anyone looking for a well paced and plotted legal mystery.

I wasn‘t going to nominate anything but Audible is featuring the new David Baldacci book, A Calamity of Souls, and I would like to nominate it for #CampLitsy24. I haven‘t ever read any of his work but the description sounds intriguing.
