I liked the book really enjoyed the secondary characters as much as the main one. This is second book in the series that I have read but I liked this better than the other one.

Savannah is helping her ex-partner, Dirk, go after a serial rapist. Suddenly, they also have to deal with the death of some fellow police officers and figure out if the two crimes are related.
I’m really enjoying this series so far. I would have given this five stars, but it drives me crazy that Savannah talks about how poor she is and how late her bills are because she doesn’t have a paying job, but she never seems to go hungry. She still buys plenty of stuff! And whenever somebody offers to pay her for something, she turns them down. Where is she getting money??

I am starting to have some issues with the overall arc of the series. She is a PI who left the police department (albeit involuntarily) and still works most cases with her partner from the police force. Whether she is helping him out or he is helping her. He never had a new partner assigned to him. Then there are her friends with FBI connections that help her out with things on each case.
I am not saying solving crimes shouldn't be a collaborative effort but this feels weird.
As far as the individual story, I feel I knew who did it about the middle of the book, it was slightly obvious. However the sudden pivot from rape to murder felt like it was two different books smushed together. The story tied up but not seamlessly in my opinion.

Even though I figured who the killer was about 50 pages in, I still enjoyed this book. It's a great light read.
