10 cc's can be murder is the second installment in the Maggie Flaherty Murder Mystery series. It opens with Maggie recuperating after emergency surgery and at the following morning her room mate is missing and no-one but Maggie seems to think she even had a room mate.I decided to read 10 cc's after having read Where There's a Will There's Murder, the 1st in the series. In my review of the 1st book in the series I said I thought these novels would develop into a very satisfying series - or something close anyway - and 10 cc's definitely backed me up in that assumption.Dealing with a wide spread organ harvesting conspiracy, the novel pits Maggie and her friends and family against an unknown collection of organ thieves who'll not stop at murder to keep their lucrative side line going strong.The characters are much more defined in this second outing and the story line is much stronger. Maggie while still head strong and consumed to stick her nose where it doesn't belong is definitely a lead character that is strong enough to carry a series of books and I'm looking forward to reading books 4-6 which I've purchased tonight. I've already read book 3 Framed for Murder and as I thought after reading the 1st novel, the books just keep getting better.This series is definitely a keeper and for someone like me who re-reads books time and again, I think Maggie will be entertaining me across hours of commuter time in the years to come.I wouldn't say no to someone translating these novels to the screen - TV or Movie - they have that vibe to them and I think they'd be extremely successful in both written and visual formats.
