Despite my best efforts at the eleventh hour, this will be my last book read for 2018. So close to the coveted 100 - 2019 is hopefully my year.
Also, this was better than the first one which is always a nice surprise.

Readable and actually better than I expected for a freebie on the kindle. The ending was a bit expected but definitely good for a holiday read.

This book follows Ellie Hatcher’s investigation into the death of a young woman who had just left an exclusive night club. I enjoyed reading a story about a strong female detective written by a lady. Often police procedurals conceal essential parts of the story to avoid giving away upcoming twists in the plot. Here, the author is careful to share what Ellie knows and keeps the reader fully invested in the story. I look forward to more from this author and particularly this detective.

Once again, Ellie Hatcher, NYPD cop, is after a serial killer - this one targeting young party girls with long blonde hair. In the first book in the series we're given a glimpse into the world of online dating, this time we're given a glimpse of the late night NYC club scene. Every once in awhile we're allowed to get into the head of the serial killer without any kind of identification, which makes it really interesting. I'm not sure why I'm drawn to these gory murder mysteries, but Ellie Hatcher is really smart and astute, her new partner is almost too good to be true - and very likable - and the endless careening around New York City (for this NYC lover) is a really nice plus. It was read really well, too.

I couldn't get into this book and overall, I did not like it. Perhaps because I read it so choppy- many start and stops.
