This crime thriller has multiple investigations going at once and is the third book in a great series.
Chicago police detective Annalisa Vega has her hands full, not only on the professional front, but also in her personal life. She's asked to investigate Sam Tran's death by hanging. He's an ex-cop turned PI who was a good friend of her boss. She begins by looking into Sam's current and ongoing files in the event that someone killed him because of something he had discovered in the course of his work. Meanwhile, her niece, Quinn, is having a problem on campus. She's a freshman at a local college and Annalisa's brother, Vinny, reports that he had hired Sam because Quinn has a stalker and he wants them found and his daughter left alone. That's not the only problem at the college, however. And that's not the only case of Sam's that Annalisa is chasing. Along with all of her police activity, Annalisa also needs to decide what she plans to do about/with her ex-husband, Nick Carelli.
This was quite absorbing and full of twists and turns that kept me guessing. I found it hard to put down as things started to come together with lots of good red herrings. I like the character of Annalisa as she's a by the book cop who tries to make good decisions and who also cares a lot about the families and victims. She has a complicated backstory with her ex and with her family so it is best that this series be read from the beginning as it makes much more sense that way. The writing is good, lots of action and other well-developed characters and a good set of plots. Looking forward to the next installment.
I was able to listen to the audio book while also following along in the e-book ARC provide by the publisher. The narrator did an excellent job of voicing all the characters and providing great dramatic flair. This production made the book all that more enjoyable.
This is the third book in a series that should be read in order from the beginning.
