Keeping up with characters

There were so many characters introduced I had to keep going back to remember who was who. Also, if I’m not mistaken, towards the end it kept mentioning a Milly, wasn’t it supposed to be Josie?

Disappointing

I enjoyed the first few books of this series. While the series isn't great, it was enjoyable. This book unsettled me, turned me off, because of contradictory social stances that the author injected into the story. The premise was good: how the system treats crimes against the privileged (rich, white folks) with more rigor than folks, notably minorities, who are disadvantaged. Oddly, the author included a statement by the protagonist's boyfriend's previously-likable teenage daughter discussing how she likes Trump because he "speaks his mind" and "is funny." Why include this? It was jarring, inconsistent with the tone of the story. If the daughter (Josie) was either starting to morph into a neo-Nazi (i.e., take the plot in a different direction, turn her into a villian) or have a change of heart, maybe it would have make sense. This did not happen to the point before I bailed. It was just included in the story as a casual aside, a mention, no push back by the adults, and the story moved on, Shortly after reaching that point in the book, I could not continue listening to this book. I can't, in all good conscience, continue with this series. I wish that I could get my credit back.
The narrator is fine.
