Welcome to Litsy!

Another intense story involving Detective Elouise Norton as she navigates a thorny homicide case and her thorny personal life. #serieslove2024

Book 2 in Det. Elouise Norton series. Good mystery. Lou, an LAPD detective, investigates a possible arson/murder and tries to sort out her rocky marriage.

This series was recommended in a diversity course for librarians as a read-alike for the Bosch series. I really like it. Our mc, Lou Norton, is interesting and flawed, and the mysteries are twisty. I finished this one up while out walking today; it was such a gorgeous day. #audiowalk

I don't know why it's taken me nine months to pick up the second Det. Eloise Norton mystery when I loved the first one, but I'm excited to dig in.

I'm working my way through this police procedural series set in Los Angeles. Detective Lou Norton is witty, clever, brash, and smart. She's great at her job. But not so much at her personal life. I love the complicated layers of this character and the plots so far have been exciting and unexpected. Recommended for anyone who likes mysteries but especially recommended if you love cop shows like Law and Order! #diversereads

3.5/5
Just finished the 2nd book of Hall‘s Detective Elouise Norton series. Arson, betrayal and of course, murder – this book has all the makings of an entertaining read. Her writing is clear and to the point, making it easy to breeze through this. I think I liked the 1st book a little more since it was more closely related to her personal life. But overall, I am liking this series and I really enjoy reading about LA (my hometown).

Another solid mystery starring smart, sarcastic, flawed black female detective Lou Norton. Mental note: request book 3.
