“Pure Entertainment With A Good Mystery.”

Two murders in a sleazy part of LA at first looks like the simple killing of Drag Queens, men who dress as women; but the victims lead to a powerful councilman and his office; one victim was the son of a millionaire. This one wasn’t going to be easy for Captain Josie Corsino and her team of detectives; in fact, pressure was quick to come down for hands off. But the feisty captain doesn’t back down from her job, regardless of who she is up against.

This was another topnotch murder investigation by the Hollywood detectives under Captain Josie Corsino’s command, and they follow each lead no matter how high up it goes. Corsino stays focused on the case, even during a divorce, and the return of a man in her life she is in love with. There are also problems within her tight knit group, which she has to handle and keep peace between her officers.

It’s a pleasure reading police procedurals by someone who knows the ropes. The author worked a 27-year career with the LAPD working the streets of Hollywood as a narcotics detective, and eventually became the area’s commanding officer. Her Josie Corsino novels show that experience and dedication. This is the third novel in the Corsino series, and highly recommended.
