"I have read all three books in this series and this is my favorite. I could not put it down. Great summer reading!" Amazon Reviewer"Once again JW Robitaille has written a fast-paced, can't put it down police procedural featuring Cory Marin, her tough Latina detective, who is holding her own in a southern police department in a university town. There is nothing more fun than a new Cory Marin novel. Highly recommended!" Amazon Reviewer
"I'm hooked on the Cory Marin stories and this third book left me wishing for book #4. The twists, depth of characters, and fast pace kept me completely engaged in the story. I love both the strength and sensitivity of the protagonist, and her realistic struggles as a female boss within a male-dominated work environment."

Intriguing Story
Robitaille pens an intriguing and mysterious story in Second Self. This is the third book in the Cory Marin series. This story revolves around ritualistic murders that keep the investigators on their toes, and going through an investigative journey to find the killer. I like that there is the combination of the investigations as well as personal lives for Cory and Marty. This book kept this reader on the edge of my seat, while I savored every word. A wonderful twist, well, more than one, and the story is definitely not a predictable one. The characters have a lot of depth, and yes, character and chemistry. I look forward to reading more by this author.
