I loved the second book in the series as much as the first. The plot was complicated and kept me guessing until the end. The ending left me hanging, and eager to start the next book. The narrator is phenomenal and makes this book very easy to listen to. C. McQueen

Okay, I admit it--I'm a Meredith & Hodge fan. Turner always comes up with the unexpected in her plots and yet at the end, the outcome makes total sense. Patsy has gone off to a new career in this offering but is still with Meredith. Half the pleasure of these stories is their relationship. The other half is the intricately plotted storylines. The narrator is a good choice for these stories and performs them well. All in all, a winner.

Another great story from MK Turner

This the second book in this series and the characters just get more and more real. This novel can be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading Misplaced Loyalty first. It helps the reader understand the bigger picture with regards to characters and crime. This group of officers are challenging , rowdy and humorous. The suspense mixed with the subtle humor makes this a page turner. Lee Beddow does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life through narration. There are enough twists to keep you guessing through this wonderful read. I am hooked on this series

Meredith and Hodge are outrageous

This is the second book in the Meredith and Hodges series, and much better than the first - no disrespect meant. I reviewed the first book and commented that it was very character development heavy rather than plot driven, as is understandable when starting a new series. This second book is more plot based, which I like better.

Patsy Hodge is now a private investigator working two cases - one a possible fraud, the other a paternity case. John Meredith is still at the police station and is working on a series of murders that link together, but the motives are unclear.  As well, there are still character developments as the relationship between Patsy and Meredith develop. Ms. Turner does wrap up a thread from the first book at the beginning of the second, rather than continuing with it - and I'm not sure whether I wouldn't have wanted it to continue a while longer, as a thread throughout a few books. 

Meredith is being his, shall I saw, usual, closed-mouthed self about most things about his past, which Patsy doesn't appreciate at, and this causes the most friction between the two characters. 

We see secondary characters return, several of the police officers of course, and Linda, the IT genius. I'm glad she's still in the books, she's a quirky individual, and I hope to read more about her.

There was a slight issue with the narration which I brought to the author's attention and which will be fixed, nothing that distracted from the overall narration or story. Otherwise, the narrator was, once again, quite good.

Continued development of series

I loved the first book so I had to get my hands on the second and the author did not disappoint.
I thought the narrator was better in book two, there was no pauses in odd places so it flowed a lot better and I am glad the author used the same narrator. I got used to listening to him from book one.

The mystery in this one is different compared to misplaced loyalty. This is told from multiple POV, including the killers, so you know who did it but not how. what I liked about this book is that we know we know who due to the evidence found yet the character does not fit the crime. So you start to doubt whether they have the right person in custody. I loved how the author did it because I kept doubting what I read and came up with different theories. Once we found out how at the end it was a suprise but an interesting concept. I understood the book cover now that I know.

Of course this is not just about the mystery but also about Meredith and Hodge. There is a big shock at the end that I did not see coming.
I am going to grab the next in the series to see how this pans out.

For 18+ due to some violence and profanity. There is no sex scenes that all happens behind closed doors.

Another Great book.
