By Paul Buhle.
Never mind. Author Joe Broadmeadow, a cop retired from work in deeply
blue collar East Providence, has been writing crime novels until now.
This is his venture into new territory, and he does it well.
I am rather surprised to find myself in the story. Back in middle 1980s,
a Humanities grant sent me to the Adult Correctional Institution (ACI)
to teach and dialogue on….a current crime novel about Rhode Island!
Actually, it was a rather poor novel, better forgotten, but the
prisoners’ reading group relished attacking it. The novelist, a big city
sophisticate, had spent a short time in Providence and “didn’t
understand” anything about the way they thought about crime or life.
They made a convincing argument.
