| Anything for You by Saul BlackSeries alert: This fast-paced, gritty, mystery-tinged thriller is the 3rd entry in the series starring the flawed yet sympathetic homicide detective Valerie Hart.
What it’s about: Despite an awkward personal connection to the victim, there's enough evidence in Valerie's newest case to make things simple. So why is her gut telling her something doesn't add up? And just who is the mysterious woman who connects the suspect and the deceased?
Oh, Valerie: Valerie knows she should recuse herself because of a long-ago drunken hookup with the (married) victim, but in this case her tendency toward self-sabotage might give her a leg up in finding the truth. |
