The first book involved Jack’s investigation into the
Gingerbread Man. He pops up again here
and let me say that he is not someone you want to deal with more than
once. Jack is once more being personally
targeted by a serial killer. Her partner
is having to deal with some health issues, her mom’s in a coma, her
ex-boyfriend has a new girlfriend, life is not fun.
As with the first two, there are excellent descriptions of
police work. I like hearing about some
of the nitty-gritty of an investigation, the leg-work involved. I don’t like cases being solved purely by
intuition or a sudden revelation. We see
plenty of good detective skills here. As
with the first two, there is plenty of humor.
Great one-liners, good relationships between the characters. Jack and her partner have a real warmth to
their relationship that I enjoy. For all
the things that are wrong in her life, Jack has a great group of people that
like and help her.
Bottom line-if you don’t want the violence, avoid this
book. If you can jump over it and are
interested in following Jack’s story, you’ll find this quite satisfying.
- Would I pay money for it? Maybe not this particular one because I skipped some parts but yes, the others in the serious I would
- Would I read more by this author? yes
- Would I recommend this to a friend? Not this particular one but I would recommend the others in the series to friends that like police procedurals
