I have to put Suzanne Jenkins' books right up there with the best of them. She is a wonderful author with an imagination that is perfect for writing great books that leave you wanting more after you read the last sentence..As much as I loved "The Greeks of Beaubien Street" I have to say I do believe that I loved this one even better. Both are wonderful and I loved the fact that this one picked right up where the first left off. I have read several of Suzanne Jenkins' books and they all just get better and better.Jill is a detective on another case this time. The murder of a man in a part of town that he didn't belong in. A family killed by "who" and "why".. One little girl has some answers and is left an orphan when her whole family is killed. Who would do such a horrible thing?In this book Jill's dad finally starts seeing someone and is on the road to finding a happiness that he deserves. But there is much sadness when the only Zannos sister is killed by her former lover. The Greek family comes together and is always there for each other. Even some of the wives start coming and bringing their children when before they never came to the home above the store for the family gatherings.There are lots of things in this book that kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. They have lots of ups and downs and lots of happiness and also sadness but they are there for each other. I have to say I truly enjoyed this books so much. I was so happy that Jill has found true happiness and got some answers that she needed about her mother and her brother. It helps her to understand her dad much better and in some ways she was blaming him for her mother dying in a car wreck. But after she hears what she wanted she understands why her dad did the things that he did.I enjoyed this story so much and can't wait for the third book. I hope it is soon so I can find out what happens next in the Zannos family and what if any other crimes Jill and Albert Wong, Jills partner, uncover. They work so well together and he never underestimates Jills psychic abilities to see things that others would miss. Between trying to get to know more about her large Greek family, her new love life and her job as a Detroit detective what will happen next in Jill's life. Will her dad find the happiness he so well deserves after being alone for so many years. Will Jill's new love work out. Will anyone else in the Zannos family get hurt or killed. I hope these are all answered in the next book about Greektown.I was great learning so much about the Greek heritage and about what detectives go through solving murders and when one such murder is lose what will he do. Will he want revenge on Jill or just go on with his life and know that he was too lucky the first time to get away with it again.Loved this wonderful book so much... I recommend it to anyone that loves a good mystery and love of family and friends...
