Why read it?
1 author picked Fools Rush In as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a fun series. It starts off in the 50s in small-town Iowa with most of the small-time innocence that you’d imagine but Gorman likes to take a different look. He leads us through the era’s less-than-shining moments while we get to relive the 50s and early sixties.
In this one, a young Black civil rights worker turns up dead. Along the way, we learn about racism and the subtle forms it can take and how it can poison a whole community.
In the end, things are not what they seemed but it doesn’t change the facts about America…
From Tom's list on mysteries with a message.
