The Color of Murder

by Loretta Moore

Overview

A sensational murder trial brings a young African American attorney, Kevin Johnson to Briarton, Connecticut to represent a black drug dealer accused of murdering a Caucasian socialite, Charlotte Knowles. Kevin does his best to defend his client, even though he knows the real reason his two white law partners have given him this high-profile case is that he's black and so is the client. Even though he's the "token-minority" partner, Kevin is still determined to do the best job he can. But is his client telling him the truth? And if he didn't kill Charlotte Knowles, who did?

Editorial Reviews

The story is intriguing and the plot has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. For a debut novel, The Color of Murder is a very good effort.

Moore uses a lot of flashbacks in her book, which I found to be an interesting and appealing way to let us have more information about the various characters. Throughout the story, I felt a subtle but definite undercurrent of social unrest, crying out against the tendency of society to look at skin color and financial position to determine a person's worth, rather than looking at the character of the person in question. It's something we all need to be aware of.
