My Thoughts:

Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner, Rich Conklin, get an unexpected tip on an unsolved case, one they’d both like to solve since it involves a vulnerable and well-known son of a former Governor. Right behind that comes the unexplained murders of wealthy citizens by an arsonist, who appears to see his crimes as a great game of—get even.

These double plots spin around the main characters, giving them plenty of angst and moments that complicate their own personal lives. The story moves at a comfortable pace, not too slow that it drags, and not so fast that the reader drops the threads of the developing investigation.

If you’re a fan of the Women’s Murder Club, you’ll meet them all again in this story. But Lindsay Boxer keeps the prominent lead, in fact,we get to know a little more about her inner struggles as she balances work and the love interest in her life, Joe.

I really enjoyed the courtroom scenes in this story. And the ending, while feeling somewhat incomplete, still rounded out the book making it a satisfactory read.

Teaser Snippet:

 I started moving the bags of frozen vegetables aside until I saw a woman’s face.

“This freezer is deep enough for two,” Jacobi muttered.
