pickThe second book in the series following Detective Vega. I read a review of this book which had me start the series from the beginning. This is book 2 in the series. An enjoyable read and Vega is a character you truly root for. A good mystery as she tries to solve a few murders set in the Chicagoland area. She has a third book in the series coming in August 2023.
pickThis was a wonderful second installment in the Detective Annalisa Vega series! I‘m such a fan of Schaffhausen‘s writing & pacing of the story. I loved how the story unfolded & appreciated the balance between the case Vega was working & what‘s happening in her personal life & how the two intersect. I definitely recommend this book & this series overall! I‘m excited for the next one!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: I am officially fan-girling Vega! (At the right time when my personal life I‘m in a “let me get lost in a book” mode). Badass female protagonist with relatable vulnerability? Sign me up for the next 10 books! Vega is a female Harry Bosch (M. Connelly character) in that everyone matters or no one matters - and that includes her family. Love her strength of character but also the softness behind the shield. Full: ScrappyMags.com
pickFans of Joanna‘s books won‘t want to miss this one.
Annalisa Vega is back investigating a cold case she isn‘t assigned to and not permitted to look into as well as a present-day murder of a policeman.
This one will have the most cunning sleuths guessing incorrectly. 5/5

pickThis is the second in this detective series and you really need to read them in order to get the most out of them. I really enjoyed this one, although perhaps not quite as much as the first one...that being said it was very entertaining and I look forward to the next in the series. The writing style reminds me a little of Karin Slaughter. The characters are complex, the plot is well thought out and the reveal came as a surprise. 4/5 stars.
pickI do believe the aspects that worked for me outweigh my gripes and I was fairly glued to the story from start to finish. I will likely continue with the series, but I hope the next homicide mystery better suits what I find intriguing in a plot line.
REVIEW 8/11
Annalisa Vega is back investigating a cold case she isn‘t assigned to and not permitted to look into as well as a present-day murder of a policeman.
I always enjoy Ms. Schaffhausen‘s books.
Her story lines keep you glued to the pages.
Fans of Annalisa will again be treated to her amazing detective work.
This one will have the most cunning sleuths guessing incorrectly. 5/5
