Sharon Amundson answers “I see a lot of reviewers upset that...”

Joe King asked this question about The Dark Hours (Renée Ballard, #4; Harry Bosch, #23; Harry Bosch Universe, #36):

I see a lot of reviewers upset that Connelly added, "propaganda" to the book because Renée uses a mask, and encourages Bosch to get the vaccine. While I don't love the Ballard character, I don't get the hate here. I am to the right on this stuff, but for a lot of people (like my ultra left wing sister) Renée's actions are realistic. So what do you think, propaganda, or accurate reflection?

Sharon Amundson I felt like the masks and vaccine parts along with the so called defunding of the police was more a reflection of what is happening in our world right…moreI felt like the masks and vaccine parts along with the so called defunding of the police was more a reflection of what is happening in our world right now. I've never got a "propaganda" vibe from Connelly.(less)
