Book: Redlined: A Novel of Boston

Author: Richard W Wise

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Redlined: A Novel of Boston is a mystery thriller by the author Richard W Wise. The story is set in the year 1974 in Jamaica Plain. From this book I got to know about the redlining concept. Redlining happens when bank or insurance companies draw a big circle on the areas that are risky to do business with.

Jamaica Plain of 1974 was redlined by the banks. This resulted in crashing of the housing market. Community organizer and Marine combat veteran, Jedidiah Flynt took the effort to stop redlining along with Sandy Morgan. But things turned bad when Jed lost his researcher Sandy Morgan whose body was found among the ashes.

Will Jed be able to take revenge for Sandy’s death?  Story is very intriguing. It left me turning pages after pages until I finished. It is based on a different concept and therefore, I found this book worth my time. Language is medium as cover page of the book is very creative. Looking forward to read more books by Richard. Go ahead with this one. It’s a promising read. Don’t miss at all.
