The first Dana Hargrove book, Thursday’s List, took place in the ‘80s. In Homicide Chart the timeline moves up several years, 1994 to be exact. Dana has a lot more experience as a prosecutor, not to mention the additional responsibility and pressure from a caseload made up of murder prosecutions. To top it off, she now has a young son whose care she juggles with the help of her husband and a nanny.This story focuses on two homicide cases, one with a gang member already on trial and another where Dana has a personal stake. With a couple minor exceptions (a detour for some unneeded backstory on a minor character and unneeded repeating of some additional backstory regarding Dana’s mother-in-law), the story is well written. There was plenty of mystery and intrigue that kept me guessing how the two cases would resolve. A worthwhile read that left me eager to see what comes next for Dana.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **
