The second in an intended trilogy, Only a Pawn by Marie W Watts is inspired by the author’s own experience of once working for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Warriors For Equal Rights series is a team of people investigating discrimination in the workplace, struggling with budget shortfalls, unsupportive management and imminent threats of closure. Initially, their office is subjected to a federal audit and then a brutal House Subcommittee grilling with a Congressman wanting to expose them for political gain. Ironically, each individual character has their own personal battles and represents a disadvantaged minority. An enjoyable narrative, if values rather than the story’s importance prevail. Overall, an average legal thriller with a three star rating. With thanks to NetGalley and the author, for an uncorrected advanced reader copy for review purposes. As always, the opinions herein are totally my own and freely given.
