The Janes (Alice Vega, #2)
by
by
Two Girls Down grabbed me from the beginning so I was excited to see Luna’s second in the series. Alice Vega seems a little calmer this go around. And Cap is just happy to have a chance to work with her again.
Alice is brought in to help the police after two unidentified dead girls are found. It would appear they’re the victims of a human trafficking ring. It’s also possible the women were undocumented.
Alice is not the warm cuddly type. In fact, she’s a real hard a**. Even though she’s been hired by the police, she’s not one to work hand in hand, especially when she feels like they’re keeping things from her.
The book moves at a fast clip and there’s a nice sense of tension and suspense throughout. It builds to a great ending. Luna makes some valid points about immigration issues in the country.
This isn’t a believable book but it is enjoyable.
My thanks to netgalley and Doubleday for an advance copy of this book.

Thanks Pat. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I agree with you about the lack of believability - that disappointed me "but" I really enjoyed the book/series otherwise.

It’s funny how sometimes a lack of believability can just derail my enjoyment of a book. Other times, I can still enjoy the book even when I recognize it’s not believable.
