Lee Goldberg has begun a new mystery series this time featuring a young woman new to the homicide department of the LAPD. She was an off duty cop when she made an arrest that went viral on social media, now she is the new detective working alongside a seasoned veteran on his way out the door to retirement.
Well written from the viewpoint of Detective Eve Ronin, we learn about a grotesque murder scene and how Ronin plans to solve the crime, her first as a lead investigator. We also start to learn about Eve the person and what led her to this desire to be a police detective. All nicely intertwined in the book, as slowly the facts of the case are unravelled. We are taken down roads that lead nowhere and paths have unexpected twists and turns as we drive through the neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
In the end there is a surprise ending and Eve Ronin may have earned some respect from the other detectives in her unit. But we will probably have to wait to the next novel in this new series to find out if she is really getting to be one of the guys, accepted as an equal.
