Bluebird, Bluebird

Bluebird, Bluebird is a 2017 novel by Attica Locke. Its main character is an African-American Texas Ranger, Darren Matthews, from the eastern part of the state. He investigates the death of another African-American, a Chicago lawyer named Michael Wright, in the town of Lark.

Neely Tucker of the Washington Post wrote that the setting "feels stuck in a sepia-toned time warp."[1]

Esi Edugyan of The Guardian wrote that the work is "a narrative of exhilarating immediacy" which has "hallmarks of modern crime fiction" with some of its own character.[2]
