"I think this book, the second in the Irene Kelly series, is even better than the first! It kept me guessing till the end and had a great mix of new-story and continuing-character-relationship development. And, damn, that Irene is a tough cookie, in a totally real and believable way. "

    " This was book #2 in the series. It was okay, but once I finished it and thought about parts of the plot, they didn't really seem logical. I will probably read the next book some time, but am not in a hurry. "
