" I liked the second book in the Fairlawn series. More about mortuary science, a sister the main character never knew she had surfaces, and the theme of racism is explored. This book did a good job of showing how overt racism may be largely gone from our society, but subtle perhaps even more insidious racism still thrives. Like the main character, I automatically assumed that a caucasian character's husband would be caucasian, unless I was told otherwise. It made me examine some of my own prejudices and feelings. "
