Fall

Revenge, Betrayal, Penance ... how do you pick things up after taking the fall?

I really enjoyed the first book. This one was a very slow burn.  I did something I never do and skipped several chapters. Sadly, I didn’t seem to miss much, I was able to continue without confusion.

I like how Vera (Li) doesn’t let Harri off the hook. She reenforces their work partnership and growing friendship.  She is whip smart as well.

I did figure out who the perpetrator was early on but I didn’t know why. When it was revealed it was kinda so-so for me.

One or two of the side stories were interesting, especially the Vera-Harri and Old-School-New-School but others seemed to get lost (new revelations surrounding Harri’s former partner’s death). I haven’t looked at the plot summary for the next book, but guess it picks up there.

Not as good as the first book, but still a good read.

Happy Reading!

Plot Summary:

In the second book in the Detective Harriet Foster thriller series, author Tracy Clark weaves a twisted journey into the underbelly of Chicago as Harriet and her team work to unmask a serial killer stalking the city’s aldermen.

The Chicago PD is on high alert when two city aldermen are found dead: one by apparent suicide, one brutally stabbed in his office, and both with thirty dimes left on their bodies—a betrayer’s payment. With no other clues, the question is, Who else has a debt to pay?

Detective Harriet Foster is on the case before the killer can strike again. But even with the help of her partner, Detective Vera Li, and the rest of their team, Harriet has little to go on and a lot at risk. There’s no telling who the killer’s next target is or how many will come next.

To stop another murder, Harriet and her officers will have to examine what the victims had going on behind the scenes to determine who could be tangled up in this web of betrayal…and who could be out for revenge
