Asylum by Betsy Adams | Review
Adela is an immigration judge from one of San Diego’s wealthiest Mexican-American families. She was raised to believe she has nothing in common with the asylum seekers in her courtroom. Paul left behind his life as a Manhattan lawyer to volunteer at the border. He has lost faith in the system, but not those who still turn to it for justice. Adela and Paul come to the Tijuana/San Diego border searching, but neither one knowing exactly what for—until they find each other. Against the backdrop of the “Remain in Mexico” policy and restrictions on asylum, Adela and Paul fight for love in a system that seems determined to destroy it.
The Black Widow’s Prey by N. S. Wikarski might be Book Three of the Gilded Age Chicago Mystery series, but it can certainly be read as a stand-alone story. I have not yet read the first two books in the series, but I enjoyed this one immensely.
