I love this series. I am rereading (listening) to them because I think I have missed some. Down a Dark Road is the 9th one in the Kate Burkholder Series by Linda Castillo.

A childhood friend, Joesph, is in prison for murder. He escapes and asks Kate Burkholder to help clear his name. Kate soon finds out there's more going on than she thought. Of course, Kate finds herself in trouble. I always think to myself, Kate, don't go meet ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read ⬆️ that person or don't go to that place, because I know she's going to have some kind of problem.

I love that Castillo still manages to grab me. She continues to grow all the regular characters in the series, not only Kate's. I know that when I pick up one of these books, I am going to be entertained and kept engaged with the story.

If you have never read this series, and you like thrillers or police procedurals, you need to give it a try. Highly recommend.

My #Roll100 book choices for April. This year's sociopolitical theme is providing a very informative yet steep learning curve. Which is exactly what I needed.

My #Roll100 books for March. I'm really enjoying this year's sociopolitical theme. I'm learning so much. Going down this rabbit hole is so enlightening and inspiring. 🐇 👀 It's giving me hope.

This is a true story of corruption within the Baltimore Police Dept. When reading this, I can‘t say that I was really surprised. But, part of me wondered how a division could get away with so much…the lack of real oversight that was in place was ridiculous!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 4mo
Amiable FYI—there‘s a docuseries on HBO/MAX based on this book, if you‘re interested! 4mo
JoeMo @Amiable What???? Hell yeah!!! I don‘t have MAX right now, but this will definitely be on my list for when I switch some of my apps around! 4mo
Amiable @JoeMo Yes! It was produced by David Simon, too —so it has the same vibe and flow as “The Wire.” 4mo

I strongly disliked this book. I only picked this because it was the first month of my BOTM subscription and I wanted to pick something. It was bleak, overly long and the plot was uninspired. I don‘t have to like the characters in books I read, but I want to at least care about what happens to them. Every single character was one-dimensional. I doubt I will even remember that I read this book in a few months. At least it‘s off my shelves.
