This is the third in the Detective Eve Ronin series; it is the second one I have read and really enjoyed.  

Eve is a minor celebrity, as some of her actions in the past were caught on video, went viral, and, much to the consternation of some in the LA County Sheriff Department,  led to her early promotion to detective. While she has some supporters within the department, there are still others out to get her.  Eve is relentless in her pursuit of criminals, while somehow maintaining a sense of humor and resonance with the reader. Her quick thinking and ability to read clues indicate she is well deserved of her promotion. I enjoy the caricature of Duncan, Eve’s partner; I will miss him when he finally retires.    

This book was well written and fast moving with good character development.  I read a lot of mysteries/police procedurals; this series seems to be a cut above so many others.  This reads well as a standalone, but it should encourage readers to seek out the first two books in the series.
