12 ROSE STREET

 Gail Bowen. 12 ROSE STREET: A Joanne Kilbourn Mystery. Penguin, 2015.

This mystery should come with a trauma trigger warning. Joanne and Zach are still at it like rabbits. Bad news about the dead puts a damper on the election. Not to mention murder and attempted murders. City politics, slum landlords, disrespect for the urban poor all play a role in the tense campaign. Along with criminal sexual behaviour, unprofessional medical treatment, questionable journalistic ethics. Oh, Regina!
