BOOK REVIEW - "COLD CASE TARGET" (BOOK 2 OF TEXAS CRIME SCENE CLEANERS) BY JESSICA R. PATCH


 Who was murdering widows whose husbands died in accidents, and why? Can private investigator keep Sissy Spencer, his ex-girlfriend, from being the next victim, or at least earn the respect of Sissy's brother Stone?

Can you judge a book by its cover? Sometimes. "Cold Case Target," book two of the Texas Crime Scene Cleaners by Jessica Patch is an example. There are few covers as exciting as this one (Jodie Bailey's "Undercover Colorado Ambush" is another). The plot is just as twisted and unpredictable as the garden maze pictured.

Patch's characters often stand out, easy to enjoy and fall in love with, whether they be main characters or supporting cast. However, some of her villains can give you the creeps, and this is an example of this as well.

This is the second book in this series, as I mentioned above. Can you enjoy this book without feeling lost or spoiling the previous story? I believe so, though it's easier to keep up if you have read the first one, "Crime Scene Conspiracy," which introduces you to the Stone family. I do recommend this book.
