The second novel in The Justice series bring us back Morton Grant and the Fixer herself Lydia Corriger. I was so excited when I saw this available to review at NetGalley. I loved the first book, now it is nice you can read The Red Hot Fix as a Stand Alone but to get the feel of the characters the first one, The Fixer, is recommended.  The Red Hot Fix is yet another wonderful book brought to us by T. E. Woods. I was able to guess the whodunit but man it was a good one.Chief of the Detectives Mort Grant is up to his eyeballs in dead Johns. The serial killer dubbed “Trixie” targets men who pay for sex. Drawing a blank and dead ends when it comes to the evidence and where to look Mort ends up at a support group for parents who have lost a loved one to prostitution.Lydia Corriger has finally finished her rehab after getting shot in the last book. She has put her self in seclusion trying to find out what to do with herself and face her actions as The Fixer. She befriends a lonely little girl whose domineering father has kept her out of school and isolated her from everyone. Keeping their friendship a secret and try and help out the little girl make friends.Mort’s son who has become a national bestseller because his book based of the Fixer has made him famous, but put his marriage on the rocks. He decides maybe “Trixie” is his next best seller and visits his father in Seattle. But maybe he has bitten off more then he can chew.Reinhart Vogel has it all a beautiful wife to run his favorite Basketball team, his basketball team the Washington Wings, an abiding Stepson to run this expanding sports store, and a young mistress to keep his bed warm. But his high paying star of the team isn’t playing his best and threatens everyone to get what he wants, even if it means firing his wife and his firing his star player. His good life is going down the drain so he decides to take matters in to his own hands. He breaks things off with his manipulative and blackmailing mistress, and takes the team into his own hands once again.Mort has been alone since his wife’s passing but Charlotte Conklin has sparked his interest.  The founder of CLIP, Children Lost in Prostitution has given him some helpful insight into “Trixie” might be. “Trixie” keeps striking accelerating her murders playing the police for fools. But when one murder pops up that doesn’t fit her usual method it’s obvious it’s a copy cat, but Mort plays it like it is one of hers hoping to trip up both murders.Lydia Becomes closer to the little girl but it soon becomes obvious that something isn’t right with her home life and once again Lydia must face doing the right thing and doing The Fixer thing. It’s an easy choice their is only one thing Lydia can do the hard part is leaving once again.Mort’s plan works and he does capture both murders but who they are is pretty shocking. I loved this story. It really is a fast paced read and keeps you pulled it tight.
