Review: Jumps right into action
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 26, 2014
This police procedural starts with quick action and keeps up the tension. Maddie returns to work as an Los Angeles detective after a 6-month leave which resulted from a personal tragedy and starts with a new partner at a new division. Police lingo and attitudes pulled me right into the story of a serial rapist loose in the county. Because I’ve lived in Southern California, I’m familiar with the setting which helped ground the story.  Although several crimes occur and the story is told through multiple points of view, the novel is structured so that following every bit of action is done in a logical way right to its inevitable ending with a twist.
