Harlan Coben recommended this book on the Today Show as a Christmas gift. I bought it for myself. The story of a black Texas Ranger sent to look into the murders of a black man and a white woman in two consecutive days was not exactly cheery but it was a very good book! Darren is in the process of trying to sort out some of his own personal and professional problems as he looks into the murders in Lark , Texas. He meets the widow of the black man and promises that he will find his killer. He suspects the husband of the white woman for a while but believes his story that while he laid some hurt on the man-he was still alive when he walked away from him. Page -turner!
Several interlacing plots involving crime, love and hate, and racial prejudice in Texas. Hero is a black Texas ranger who has drinking problems, and wants to keep the world safe for poor black people in forgotten rural areas, from which he also came. Villains include Aryan Brotherhood gangsters. Nice beginning, good plot with twisrs and turns, and life in a town of 200 people, including a gutsy 70 yr old black owner of a roadside cafe. Many secondary characters play good roles.
It took me a while to get into this story about a black Texas Ranger who’s suspended for going to the aid of an acquaintance who was being harassed by a white supremacist who was on his land. That supremacist is found dead two days later. Darren is already struggling with his marriage and drinking too much in his loneliness and frustration.Despite being suspended, when he hears about a black man found dead under suspicious circumstances in a town of 200 people that’s well known for having a high tolerance for members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, he can’t help but nose around, especially when a white girl is found dead in the same bayou just two days later. ABT is even worse than the KKK because it deals drugs like meth among its many criminal ties.This is when the story really picks up. I was taking notes and I still had a hard time figuring out who was related to whom and how, but I got the gist of it. Once I got into it, I devoured the book in a day.I enjoyed this mystery, which doesn’t shy away from the complexities of race and family.
Two bodies have turned up in quick succession in a small town in hardscrabble East Texas. The sheriff is inclined to treat them as unconnected. But not so Darren Matthews, a Texas Ranger who has come to town at the urging of a friend in the FBI who suspects larger forces at work there. An African-American, Darren fears a connection with the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a violent racist gang enriched by drug smuggling. However, Darren is on suspension from the Texas Rangers because he is suspected of involvement in the death of a known member of the ABT. Nonetheless, without authorization, he sets out to investigate the two deaths. Once in town, he encounters resistance from the sheriff and worrisome rumblings from the local people. No one, not the African-Americans who congregate at Geneva's cafe nor the white men who hang out in a nearby bar, is willing to help Darren at first. He's an outsider. He doesn't belong.This is the setup in Bluebird, Bluebird, the new novel from the widely acclaimed writer Attica Locke. Her title comes from a blues song of the same name sung by John Lee Hooker. ("Bluebird, bluebird, take this letter down South for me.") Music, especially the blues, plays a large role in the background of this gripping murder mystery.Bluebird, Bluebird highlights the uneasy relationships between black and white in a Texas town still in the vise of history. "Forty-some years after the death of Jim Crow, not much had changed," writes Locke. Given the setup, it would be natural to expect the two deaths (which are in fact murders) to be racially motivated. Race is a central factor—but in ways that are too complicated to imagine as the story begins to unfold.Attica Locke was born in Houston. She makes her home in the Los Angeles area, where she has accumulated numerous credits as a screenwriter. Bluebird, Bluebird is her third novel.
This is a well written novel and the only reason I give it 4 stars is that the hero - a black Texas Ranger - is an alcoholic who is stupid enough to buy liquor while in uniform and drinks on the job. This is a disconnect from the rest of the novel. Locke should know that the early first blacks in once segregated circumstances were careful lest their white bosses would find any excuse to fire them. Otherwise, the plot and characters feel real. It was often the case that the first blacks were overqualified for the job, having more education than their colleagues and their bosses. That is the case here. Locke skillfully relates the small towns of the south where residents are enmeshed with each other across race and where everything is civil as long as everyone knows their place. It is curious that the redneck bad guys belong to the Aryan brotherhood rather than the Klan. It is also farfetched that a black man would go into the local redneck bar for a drink. But thats only a small quibble. I look forward to the sequel.
This book just rings true. It is beautifully written and accurately illustrates a part of life that desperately needs examining. I would highly recommend if you are interested in history, psychology, or just plain humanity. It is also just rousingly satisfying! P.S. I'm a southeast Texas native.
