Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by a favorite, Joanna Schaffhausen. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Former detective Annalisa Vega, now pregnant and a floundering PI, hasn’t forgiven her brother for his role in a murder, and he hasn’t forgiven her for turning him in, so she’s surprised when he asks her to visit him in prison. Turns out, he has a possible case for her: one of his fellow inmates, Joe Green, may be innocent of the murder that landed him behind bars. Annalisa begins investigating and finds some issues with the original case; unfortunately, his arresting officer was her husband, Nick. This case tests the bounds of her marriage, her family, and her sense of justice.
This is one of my favorite series, but if you haven't read it, the author gives plenty of background so that it can be enjoyed as a stand alone. But if you've read from the beginning, you get the treat of knowing and reuniting with these characters. These books are so well written and expertly plotted, with lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Plus, the family relationships and dynamics keep the storyline feeling personal. Great police procedural and I can't wait to see what happens next in this series!
