Told in alternating points-of-view, today's BOTD is a crime thriller novel that allows readers to hear both sides of the story and come their own conclusions. The suspenseful storyline, detailed scenes, and well-developed characters make this one you don't want to miss!

Awesome review! Thank you! I've downloaded my copy, and I'm looking forward to reading it! :-)

This book seems interesting. It intrigues me to see the stories of cops, in light of the BLM movement. The book seems to show all sides of the story, the good cops and the corrupt ones as well. That’s why I might be interested in reading it.

I've always found police work one of the hardest, not only because of constant danger, but also because of the ethical side of it. It can be really difficult to tell good from bad, and every story has two ends. It's easy to give yourself to the quick judgement, but not everything is visible on the first sight. I think the book might be too dark for me at that moment, but I find this review very thorough and informative. Well done.

"Darkness of Blue" by Gary A James - An intriguing police mystery, in which the present-day activity reminds Officer Myles Konrad of a past case of injustice that he was involved in. It has in-depth analysis of police personalities and similarly with a criminal. Exciting reading. Thanks for the in-depth review.

This is an interesting crime thriller novel highlighting investigation, mystery, Christianity, gang violence, political brutality, corruption, and justice. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

This book was very interesting seeing that it dose give a general scope of the Good and Bad cops out there. Even if most times the Bad Cops do out weigh the good ones. I recommend this book to anyone interested in getting a general knowledge about our society on police encounters and gang activities. Overall pretty informative to me.

From the review and sample this appears to be an intriguing and thought-provoking crime fiction novel. The protagonist, police officer Konrad, comes from a family that have loyally served the police force, something he is proud of. He tries to do the right thing, but mistakes happen. The story provides narrative from both the criminals perspective and the Officers. The graphic violence, however, is something I do not enjoy reading.

An eye-openning crime thriller "Darkness of Blue" by Gary A James, which tells us the story of a police officer and a civilian in a prison facility. Nice thing is that this book gives good insight into the lives of the criminals as well as the police officers. This book appears worth grabbing.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
