Well, it was definitely better than the first book in the series. The mystery was a cold case this time, or two cases to be more specific. The deaths of two police officers, Detectives, in a small town. One case is many years old and the other is about a year old.

Jade gets hired by the partner (in a love sorta way, not a cop or business sorta way) to look into the first Detective's, a woman, death and because although it had been ruled a suicide, the partner did not believe it.

Stevie puts herself into the investigation as well. Finding the second cold case while Jade finds that the first wasn't suicide.

Then Stevie goes under cover and the story turns from a mystery to mostly a thriller from there on in.

It wasn't a horrible story. It started slowly again and the themes, etc. were sort of a bit like anvils instead of feathers.

I still feel like the Jade/Stevie relationship is off a little, but I'm not sure why, but it is a solid three stars, unlike the first book in the series that was only barely three stars. ( )
