Here I Go Again: From the Casefiles of Detective "Mal" Malone

by Jen Flanagan

A former crush. An ongoing investigation. A criminal mastermind. At least Mal isn’t doing it all on her own this time around. Detective “Mal” Malone’s life has turned upside down. Her office has been taken over by a new friend and employee, Suzy, and Suzy’s husband, Sam, who persistently pops in like the techie-rockstar and wanna-be detective that he is. She has to take on enough work to keep the lights on, but she’s dedicated to finding a way to nail slippery Dessi to the concrete floor of the jail cell. A new case of stolen jewelry highlights Sam’s strengths and puts a new spin on how she does her job. Then, an unexpected visit from Rhodes, a fireman she shared a combustible history with, joins her on an out-of-state journey to find his estranged father. What could go wrong? The new team comes together to devise a carefully laid plan that leads her directly into the lion’s den. Mal’s been caught in his web once before. This time, will she make it out alive?

Reviews

[InD'tale Magazine]

Rating: 4.5/5.0

There is a fun cast of characters in “Here I Go Again” and the title really speaks volumes for how poor Mal is feeling as she tries to get used to the new work situation she finds herself in.

Read full review in the 2023 June issue of InD'tale Magazine.

Love the intermingling story lines

Wasn’t sure when I started Book 1, but Jen Flanagan quickly won me over. Book 2 makes the characters lives seem really with multiple events happening all of which get tied up nicely. Can’t wait to see if Mal and all her support cast can take Dessi down for good in the next book.

[Jo Lynn Bruno-Diehl]

Mal Malone is on the hunt again and more determined than ever to put the mobster, Dessi, behind bars. Along the way she saves an old woman from being robbed by her own son; breaks up a vandalism ring of teenage girls; and reunites Rhodes with his father.
Along the way she begins to loosen her grip on her need to do all on her own. I am happy to see that happen.
