Black by Rose was a real page turner of a book. It follows
several plot lines, and at times I found it difficult to figure out who the
main characters were. This was not helped by a prologue that featured a murder
for which a woman deliberately takes the blame and serves time in prison to
protect her female lover. This plot line then lapses and does not return until
much later in the book.
After the prologue the plot features on the murder of an undercover
policeman and his family. During the course of the investigation we meet the
forensics team, the police and a particularly vicious criminal family. I liked
the multi-viewpoint style which allowed me to see into the minds of all of
these.
However, the characters who really drew me in were Eddie and
Ros and the obstacles to their love for each other. They are both part of the
investigation and work in a forensics team with the police.
This is nail-biting stuff, action packed, full of pace and
suspense. If it had a fault it was only the delay between the events in the
prologue and the follow up of that part of the story.
