A Blind Goddess (Billy Boyle World War II, #8)

Just when I thought I might be tired of this series... I was wrong. Benn changes style here... this feels more like an Agatha Christie mystery than anything, with a focus on the local cops and a couple interlocking mysteries in a small British town.
That doesn't meant there is no historical content though, because there certainly is, though all of it is pretty sad. We get more on the fictional characters attempts to convince the real life British leaders to believe the Holocaust is happening.. which in retrospect is pretty horrifying.
The true focus is that of African Americans during the war, and while of course Billy has a friend that he grew up with (which definitely happens more often than it should.. it's a big war) but 'Tree' Jackson is a fantastic character so I forgive him.
It's can be hard to read about how horrible some humans can be to others, but I'm sure the real life situations are even worse. I just wish more people would realize it.
