Heartfelt and Compassionate

5 out of 5

We get to see the softer, compassionate side of Detective Jane Perry in this story. Dewey shows this aspect of Perry in her books (Protector and Redemption) so it's nice to see it reflected in the short story collection. This particular story is heartbreaking because of the trauma involved, but also a beautiful testament of how one human being can touch another's life.

  • Detective Perry's compassion for survivors and those who are ignored or disposed of by society is found throughout Dewey's books. I think it's because Jane Perry sees herself in them.
