A fatal hazing accident thirteen years ago comes back to haunt the families involved in this first full-length novel featuring fan favorite detective Joe Bashir. Sexy Pakistani-American Detective Joe Bashir is called to a crime scene in the wealthy foothills of California, where politically ambitious Bryce Engler's dinner party is ruined when a guest's body is found in a pool of blood. Two days later, Engler's beautiful wife Gail lies dead at the foot of a cliff on nearby Mount Diablo. When Joe turns to Gail's sister Marva for insight into the family history, he discovers that thirteen years earlier, Gail was responsible for the hazing death of a fellow co-ed. Her then-boyfriend engineered a cover-up that deflected blame onto another girl. As Joe searches out everyone who might still hold a murderous grudge, he realizes there was more to the Engler marriage than meets the eye.... Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

where she discusses writing Blood Bond.
It has been said before and I will say it again – I am a huge fan of Sophie Littlefield’s adult novels. There is something very unique about the books she writes. Her novels are extremely character focused and emotionally intense. Blood Bond follows this trend.
The main character of Blood Bond is a first generation Pakistani immigrant, who had aspirations to be a doctor but in reaction to hate crimes perpetrated against members became a police officer. He is incredibly focused, intense but lonely. While he regularly sees his parents and his brother, he does not seem to fit in with them. He is respected and liked in his department, but does not have close friends. He has a woman that he is sexually intimate with, but they remain emotionally distant.
A wealthy pair of sisters, dysfunctional and each equally unhappy in their one ways is introduced. And thus begins the mystery, the murder and the sexual tension.
Blood Bond is a mildly complex murder mystery but the true focus of the story is the emotional relationships and the characters. This is a story where I became invested in the characters and I truly liked the main character. I am not sure if this is a first time for Ms. Littlefield in writing a male point of view as the main character, but she does it well. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series.
