SUSPICION NATION The Inside Story of the Trayvon Martin Injustice and Why We Continue to Repeat It

Bloom explores the numerous dynamics and failures of the justice system in the Trayvon Martin case while also providing a contextual analysis of institutional racism in American culture. As narrator, she provides a clear and commanding narration in a slightly raspy voice that grabs the listener's attention. Her tone is emphatic throughout, and she teases out complex legal issues in a deliberate style that makes clear what's at stake. However, her delivery is off-putting when she uses a sarcastic and condescending tone during some of the courtroom analysis, particularly when describing various cross-examinations or opportunities she believes were missed by the prosecution.
