Blood Oath - Linda Fairstein
She read
Linda Fairstein’s Alexandra Cooper has been prosecuting sex crimes since long before the #MeToo movement. This is the twentieth novel in the series, of which I am a fan.
Newly returned to her job after a hiatus to recover from double personal traumas, Alex encounters a case involving a political rival. Fairstein was chief of the sex crimes unit of the Manhattan DAs office, so she knows whereof she writes.
In all of the Cooper series novels, one learns something about predators, the law, ,New York City History, and, of course, those popular Final Jeopardy answers. It was nice to see Alex back in the game at her full capacity. This one didn’t disappoint; it was fast paced, engrossing, and satisfying.
While all of the books contain the same familiar characters, the cases always remain fresh. If this is your first Alex Cooper read, it is fine as a stand alone and good introduction to the series. Do yourself a favor, though, and go back and read through some of the earlier ones.
