All Through the Night

Author: Suzanne Brockmann
Stars: 3
Review by: farmette

This is essentially the story about the marriage of 2 men...Jules and Robin..one minor bad guy that they easily dispatch..easily because the Troubleshooters and FBI characters are all in Boston for the wedding.. another character enters and falls in love.. much about the challenges gay men face as they put together life and careers..
 

I did not discuss an issue from the most previous book.. almost all the characters in these books have been shot or been in explosions.. several extensive hospital and rehab stays, and one guy was shot twice on one op.. despite this, only one death, and that was the wife of a  marginal FBI character that immediately dropped off the grid and has not been seen or talked about since..in her last book, a FBI death occurred..it was Jules's supervisor, and the ONLY homophobic significant character in this series... fortunately the director of the whole unit was solidly on the side of Jules as a gay man, and his all his supervisor could do was to make things slightly uncomfortable... SOOO...she transferred to another FBI unit, and was killed in action.. a pretty heavy message.. the combination of that death and the book on the gay wedding is mos def over the top.. too far over the top..

I love her work. She supports her child and it reflects in her writing. I hope you read more because you may find the Author just showing her love for her family.
