Echoes of Infamy (Bishop & Gallagher #3) by Shana Steinberg (NetGalley ARC, pub 5/26) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just discovered this series and eagerly read the first two books before starting the ARC of this book. I think these are a great example of the historical mystery genre and I have enjoyed getting to know the characters and the way the author juxtaposes historical events and social issues. This book was no exception, picking up on the lives of Evelyn and Nick as newlyweds tackling a new case and challenges at Bishop Aeronautics. This book explored the experiences of veterans, the treatment of Japanese Americans during and after the war, Hoover's FBI and the Lavender scare, and the challenges of poverty and family cycles of violence. While these themes may sound grim, I found their treatment and the gentle and multifaceted treatment of characters to be quite uplifting. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
