I really loved Alice Vega and Max Caplan’s second outing in The Janes: An Alice Vega Novel and, while there are minor spoilers for Two Girls Down in this one, don’t deny yourself the pleasure of reading both of these books, in whatever order you can manage. Brilliant, brilliant crime fiction!Thanks to Text Publishing
