Bloodlist - Chapter Five - Our Heroes Go To Dinner

Okay, so, full disclosure. This chapter has an instance of blackface. Specifically, a white character using makeup to pass for a black man (and one with mental disability, so ableism as well). There is context for this, but to be perfectly honest with you, I have no idea if the context mitigates the circumstances or not. Basically, I'm too white to make this call.

And honestly, I think Ms. Elrod is also too white to make this call. While I still enjoy the book, I can definitely say I wish she'd gone with something different.
