It takes its title from a John Lee Hooker song and reflects the bluesman’s griefs. I enjoyed Bluebird, Bluebird and I have my copy of Heaven, My Home on my shelf already. The novel is as much murder mystery as it is a meditation on race and on being loyal to one’s roots. From a writer and producer of the Emmy winning Fox TV show Empire, Bluebird, Bluebird is a rural noir suffused with the unique music, color, and nuance of East Texas. Bluebird, Bluebird is a really good, solid start for Attica Locke’s Texas Ranger and the small, bitter twist at the end neatly sets up the second book in the Highway 59 series. Darren must solve the crimes - and save himself in the process - before Lark's long-simmering racial fault lines erupt. Lockes new book, Bluebird, Bluebird, is evidence of her deep knowledge and love of her community and a deep talent for writing hype thrillers that also manage to be timely, relevant and keenly insightful. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders - a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman - have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the lone star state, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules - a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. 'In Bluebird, Bluebird Attica Locke had both mastered the thriller and exceeded it.' -Ann Patchett Masks are strongly encouraged.Ī heartbreakingly resonant thriller about the explosive intersection of love, race, and justice from a writer and producer of the Emmy-winning Fox TV show Empire (USA Today).
