This week, I'm offering two of the most enjoyable books I've
read this year, featuring private investigators. You don't need to have read Barbara Fister's first book (I haven't) to appreciate Through the Cracks. A notorious rapist's sentence has been overturned, and twenty years later the victim hires P.I. Anni Koskinen to find the man who really raped her. But, Anni's investigation reveals that a serial rapist might still be at work, something the Chicago police and political powers want to ignore. 
Random Violence is the debut mystery by Jassy Mackenzie. P.I. Jade de Jong returns home to South Africa, after a ten year absence after the death of her father. Johannesburg is even more violent than she remembers, but she's returned with a scheme. When she helps a police officer, her father's former assistant, with a car-jacking case, she uncovers a pattern, a series of crimes that lead back to her father's death.Do you want to win Through the Cracks or Random Violence?
