Description
Chance is a hitman with hippie roots and deep emotional wounds, disillusioned by life and stung by love—and his next target is the woman who rejected him. As he closes in on his victim, Chance struggles to rediscover the competitive edge that normally makes him so deadly. Meanwhile, the one safe haven Faye Lindstrom can rely on will only last until the end of the summer, assuming that the violence in her past doesn’t catch up to her first.
For lovers of Southern noir, Flamingo Lane is a gritty cat-and-mouse pursuit that ventures even further into the haunted territories of revenge and redemption first chronicled in Fever Tree.

A great cat and mouse story chase for me from vacation land Yucatan, to corn in Indianan (which was a good curve) to finally down in Florida where almost all, like the drain pipe (not in a bad way) all types end up there. I think the writer's style made this come alive for me.
I read this was a sequel kind of, no drag on this story, enjoy!

WWOOOWWWW! What a story... at first I did not think I would really be able to dive deep into this novel but I am sure glad I did! Amazing story line and the main character was truly a character that you have to really listen to! All of the emotional aspects were present in this book. Must read!

“Flamingo Lane” is super suspenseful well written thriller. Don’t let this one pass you by. It’s an awesome cat and mouse tale with an amazing story line and very believable characters. Chance is a hitman who is very emotionally unstable, stung by love and disenchanted with life. His next target is the woman who has rejected him. The author has a wonderful talent for establishing and nurturing the relationships of all the characters. I look forward to reading more books from this author. I highly recommend this book. Advance reader copy was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Not long after I started reading, I realized this book was the second in a series. There was enough background for me to continue reading. Sharing the plot of a hit man chasing Faye to fulfill a contract doesn’t do the story justice. The characters carry this story, and these characters are characters, and some even have character.

Flamingo Lane is a well-written and interesting story about a woman trying to get her life back after dating a high ranking drug lord and the hit man assigned to kill her.
Since this is the second novel in a quartet, I do think readers will benefit by having read Fever Tree first. At times I felt that additional background on the characters would have been helpful in feeling more of a connection to them. However, it's certainly not necessary. Applegate's writing is so strong that this book stands on its own. I particularly enjoy his careful and at times poetic use of language in conjunction with a nicely paced plot.
