In this third book in the series featuring Roxane Wearey, the private investigator takes a case involving her brother as a suspect in the disappearance of a young female DJ, who was last seen at his house, and the death of a cop who had been searching for her.
... it gets complicated—and moves from complicated to lethal in very short order. Roxane is easily one of the edgiest and most deeply flawed suspense heroines since Robert Eversz’s Nina Zero. Read this one, and you’ll soon be perusing the bookstore shelves for the previous two books in the series.
Building to a chilling and surprising conclusion, the third book in Lepionka's Shamus Award-winning series...is both intricately plotted and character-driven, with a complicated protagonist. Suggest for fans of detective novels with unconventional sleuths.
If the cases in this third mystery are less compelling than those earlier in the series, Roxane herself, a remarkably well-drawn and interestingly flawed character, continues to command interest.
