Title: Righteous Author: Joe Ide Genre: mystery Why did you choose to read this book? I enjoyed reading the first book in this series, IQ. What did you like about it? Like IQ, this is a fast-paced detective story featuring Isaiah Quintabe (鈥淚Q鈥), a self-made private investigator in Los Angeles. IQ uses a combination of reasoning, cunning, surveillance and lock-picking skills and in his pursuit of justice. Several characters return from Ide鈥檚 debut novel in this sequel. When IQ receives a call from his late brother鈥檚 ex-girlfriend seeking help for a friend, he and his compatriot Dodson encounter Latino and Chinese gangs, sex traffickers and Las Vegas loan sharks and gambling addicts. Not only protagonists but antagonists in this book are given depth. The reader appreciates how being viciously mutilated during the Rwandan genocide or growing up in abject poverty in China has shaped different characters and led them to lives of crime. Was there anything noteworthy about the book? It was a nominee. What feeling did the book leave you with? This book is fun to read. The last few chapters went very quickly. It left me eager for the next book 鈥 not necessarily the next one in this series, which isn鈥檛 published yet, but eager to continue reading. Who would you recommend the book to? Fans of detective stories will enjoy the IQ series. What would you pair this book with? This book pairs well with a drive through the Mojave Desert.
