Fresh Kills (1995)

About book Fresh Kills (1995)

A very engaging mystery... but the author had some odd views on abortion and adoption that caused me to spend the book trying to figure out if she had a political agenda. Perhaps she herself is conflicted on those issues? Several characters made comments to the effect of 'I don't understand why there are single moms now that abortion is legal' and 'Why didn't you just abort like everyone else?' It was hard to tell if the characters thought abortion was super common and ok, or super common and terrible. Additionally, one of the main characters had severe abortion-remorse from an abortion that she had had years previously. The book was pretty down on the system of adoption/foster care in the US and, in the worst possible example of corrupt adoption practices, featured a baby selling ring. In the end it I decided that there was no political agenda, just a mystery dealing in a rather odd way with some complex issues.
