Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press/Minotaur Books and the author, Joanna Schaffhausen, for gifting me both a physical and digital ARC of the latest installment of one of my favorite series feauturing Detective Annalisa Vega. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Is there such a thing as a good sociopath? Detective Annalisa Vega has quit the Chicago Police Department and become a private investigator. Her first client is a professor who is writing a book saying that exact thing, featuring local star neurosurgeon Dr Craig Canning as her subject. But before her book is published, Mara needs to ensure that Craig really is a good sociopath. Because a young woman in his apartment building, Vicki, mysteriously fell to her death and she fears he could have something to do with it. So begins Annalisa's investigation that may have dire consequences to her and her family.
I am a huge fan of this series and was so excited to dive into the latest chapter. It can easily work as a standalone, but it's too good not to start at the beginning! Annalisa is now remarried to Nick, whose daughter, Cassidy, has just come into their lives. There's a lot going on here, from Annalisa's investigation into Vicki's death, to trying to find the biological mother of one of Cassidy's friends and the cat belonging to Vicki's neighbor, Ruth. But in Schaffhausen's skilled hands, it all works perfectly. You'll be questioning what really happened, and I would never have guessed that ending. Plus, the discussion of sociopaths is fascinating. Full of intriguing characters (I loved Ruth!), this book left me anxious to read more in this series.
