The Red Hot FixOnce again I find myself overwhelmed by how well written and thought provoking these characters are. Just when we are sure we know who the culprit is, we get another piece of evidence that disputes our case solving ability; I love that about this fantastic author!In this second book, we find our main character Lydia living a very secluded and quiet life. Lydia is hiding away from the truth about her past exploits and she is having a hard time dealing with those truths. She no longer feels secure in the life she had so carefully manufactured, and now she feels deep regret for pulling her friend and co-conspirator Detective Mort Grant into the cover-up that has kept her out of prison. Lydia is determined to fly under the radar on a small island and just spend time at the local library....but Lydia runs across a neglected seven year old girl who is clearly being abused. Lydia knows she can't solve everyone's problems, and she was determined to put the "Fixer" and her past way behind her; but Lydia's heart breaks for the little girl who the island seems to see past. Maybe she will find inspiration on how to get justice for little Maizie Dunfield without having to get her alter ego involved.Next we check back in with Mort Grant, he is still grieving his wife's death and his daughters disappearing act. He is also waste deep in the middle of a serial killing prostitute case. It seems like the prostitute whom the press have nicknamed "Trixie" is unhappy with the men in her life; now she is leaving dead bodies in pay by the hour sleazy motels. They don't call them no tell motels for nothing! No one has seen the woman behind the killings and the press is making huge headlines on these murders....but that isn't the only homicide case that Mort's team has received, he also landed a highly prominent leader in the communities death he is investigating; and it seems like the C.E.O. didn't bother to read his copy of  "How to Make Friends and Influence People". There are more people out there who had a reason to kill the business leader than there are cops to run down alibis!As the heat starts building on the team of investigators the whole city is clamouring for answers and Mort is burning the candle at both ends! Who is Trixie? Who is the guilty party/parties involved in the high profile murder? Find these answers and so much more when you dare to begin the journey to the answer of who dun it!ARC received from talented author and publisher. As well as Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*
