"Erin McCabe's years as a criminal defense attorney have prepared her for almost anything, except being on the opposite side of the interrogation table. A new client--a successful financial adviser--was found stabbed to death on the beach near his palatial Jersey Shore home. The time of death is estimated to be during Erin's one and only consultation with him, during which he revealed that he was secretly transgender. As the last person to see him alive, Erin's now the prime suspect. If the evidence were simply circumstantial, Erin is sure she and her law partner, Duane Swisher, could prevail. But there are entanglements that can't be easily explained, and connections to powerful unscrupulous politicians who hold a lot of grudges. While the investigation unfolds, Erin and Duane are called on to represent a mother charged with abducting her child--a hot-button case that has both private and public implications for Erin. As she battles one prosecutor who wants to see her charged with murder, and another determined to send her to jail for refusing to divulge her client's location, Erin also faces a devastating family tragedy. With her career and her relationship on the line, and her life being targeted by a desperate nemesis, there has never been more at stake--or fewer places to turn . . ."--… (más)

The Erin McCabe series never fails to confront the prejudice faced by the LGBTQ community, and the latest is no different. I'm glad that the book takes place in the recent past (2009) because I'd like to hope that things have improved (though I'm worried that they haven't, even considering that the book is set in New Jersey which is considered to be more liberal than many states). A great thriller that I read in one sitting, as well as a social commentary that should open one's eyes to the overt and covert discrimination present in our world.

Thanks to Kensington Books for access to a digital ARC on NetGalley. ( )

Remain Silent by Robyn Gigl
Erin McCabe Mysteries #3

Interesting and sometimes difficult to read story of social, political, and personal issues that intertwine to provide readers with a different look at life and in the reading, may open a few eyes.

What I liked:
* Erin: intelligent, professional, good friend, true to self, loves her family, takes on tough cases, in law partnership with longtime friend, under the spotlight, in a relationship with Mark, has much to deal with in this book.
* Mark: Erin’s boyfriend, educator, supportive, has made difficult decisions to be with the woman he loves
* Duane Swisher: Erin’s law partner and friend, intelligent, ex-FBI, supportive, husband, father, a good person and friend
* Peg: Erin’s mother, loving, kind, compassionate, wise, there for all of her family
* Michelle & Hannah: mother and transgender daughter who face some difficult times in this book
* The family aspects of the story and how people in families react to LGBTQIA issues
* That it paralleled what is happening in the news – at last in some ways
* The way all the threads were tied up in the end with more than one having a happy ending
* That I could thoroughly dislike the bad guys and was thrilled when they met their comeuppance at the end of the book

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* That there are people as evil, bigoted, intolerant, and phobic as some of the ones in this book
* Wondering if people are as verbally and physically abusive in real life as they were in this book

Did I like this book? Yes – though it took me longer to read than the previous two
Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
