Now married to her former partner and with a newly minted PI license, Annalisa Vega is trying to figure out how to live in this new reality without a badge. She opens a PI business and quickly gets a mysterious customer, the author of a book about how "good" sociopaths exist based on a local surgeon. The woman wants Vega to investigate a recent death of a young woman who lives in the same building as the surgeon. Although the victim's death is ruled an accident, the customer is concerned that her subject might be involved, and such a discovery would disprove the premise of her book. Vega begins by learning all she can about the brilliant and egotistical surgeon. Balancing her new married life and the newly discovered daughter of her husband, Vega has her hands full. Adding to the stress is her stepdaughter's search to find the mother who abandoned her girlfriend in hopes she will donate a kidney to save the young woman's life. It's an exciting read full of twists and turns. I can wait to see what happens next for Vega!

This is the 4th in the Annalisa Vega Series. I couldn’t wait to start reading this latest book in the Vega Series. Annalisa was a dedicated cop who was honest, hardworking, and intelligent, which makes you believe in her. She has decided to take these qualities and open her own private detective agency. Annalisa’s life is changing not only in her work but in her personal life. She has married her ex-husband again, thinking about starting a family and learning to adapt to having Nick’s teenage daughter in their lives. The first day her doors open she has been asked to investigate two cases: One an author who like Annalisa to find out whether Dr. Craig Canning killed a young girl in his building. The second one is to find the mother of Cassidy’s friend in high school who needs a new kidney. Both cases are challenging and have some surprise twists that will have you guessing till the end. When I thought that I had it all figured out, Schaffhausen threw a curve ball that changed everything at the end. This is what I love about Schaffhausen stories and what keeps me coming back to read more. I highly recommend this suspense book, so run out and grab a copy. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishing company for providing an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this 4th book in the Annalisa Vega series. This time Annalisa is trying to prove a charismatic man is a "bad sociopath" instead of the good one that's been written about. After a young woman falls from her balcony, Annalisa believes the man is responsible, but he proclaims his innocence.
This one had the twists that Schaffhausen is famous for, so once you are sure you have it all figured out, your view changes.

This is the fourth book in the Detective Annalise Vega series. Vega has quit the police force and is now a private detective. A young woman falls to her death. Is it murder or an accident? Vega gets involved with a sociopath. Is he good or bad. There is also a good bit about her home life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope there are more books to come.
