Why read it?
1 author picked Force of Hate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ve read the first installment by Graham Bartlett and loved the main character of Jo Howe, a woman working in a male-dominated police force and battling so much more than just the crimes taking place.
I was really excited to read the second journey into her world! I also love how Bartlett tackles hard-hitting subjects, such as trafficking, fascism, and so much more.
It’s an uncompromising look at the current state of the police force and the issues within our society that we need to confront while also giving us characters to care about and root for.
