Brief Summary of Book: Murder, Lies and Chocolate (Death by Chocolate #2) by Sally Berneathy It's called "Ghettoside: A True Story Of Murder In America." Leovy spent many years embedded with homicide detectives, and her book is an intimate look at murder investigations and the relationships between police and victims' relatives, witnesses and suspects. In 2007, she started a blog called "The Homicide Report" to document all the murders in Los Angeles County. Part of the problem, she believes, is that these murders are simply invisible to too many of us. Leovy's covered crime for the Los Angeles Times for more than a decade, and as you'll hear, she doesn't regard the problem simply as one of poor police work. Her new book focuses on the epidemic of unsolved murders in African-American neighborhoods in Los Angeles and the corrosive impact of unpunished crime in those communities. Our guest today, journalist Jill Leovy, argues that black communities suffer deeply from too little law enforcement, or at least law enforcement of a certain kind. The deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner in Staten Island have sparked debate about whether the police presence in African-American communities is too heavy-handed and often abusive.

I should have decided a long time ago to stay in a galaxy far, far away from Outside In. Given how little i enjoyed the first book in this series, you’re probably going to read this review whilst shaking your head, tsking and saying that I had it coming, or “I told you so,” or something of that nature. I felt like I owed it to myself to give Outside In a try… Snyder’s work before (the first books in her Study series were good fun), and I felt that there was potential in this series for growth. Why did I read this book: Honestly, I wasn’t impressed much at all with the first book in this series, Inside Out, BUT, I’ve read and enjoyed Maria V. How did I get this book: ARC from the publisher But then we learned that there’s outside and then there is Outside.
