Take a bow Karen Fritz! This is a great police procedural with characters who are both interesting and believable. The plot was well-paced and I found the book difficult to put down until I reached the end. Clues were uncovered gradually throughout the book leading the two detectives, Parker and Garcia, toward a very surprising conclusion in solving several murders.
Parker came across as a seasoned, dedicated, honest detective. Garcia, the more junior detective, was a ladies man and looked to Parker as a mentor as he honed his skills. The prostitutes were portrayed with sensitivity to their dreams of one day getting out of the business.
The story takes place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and I enjoyed recognizing some local places in the book. I'm a little worried now about the "Southside" area which I'm not familiar with - seems like a pretty rough place.
Although I found the beginning of the story a little slow and matter-of-fact, that quickly changed after the characters were introduced and basics laid out. The pace quickened and the plot thickened and I was hooked. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good police procedural or murder mystery. I'm looking forward to the next book by Ms. Fritz!

Thriller
Another thriller with lots of twists and turns and some surprises in the end. Very wee done Karen. I really enjoyed it.
