Pop Goes the Weasel by M.J. Arlidge
In this sequel to Eeny
Meeny Detective Inspector Helen Grace finds herself on the trail of another
serial killer while trying to put her team back together after the fallout from
their previous serial killer case (spoiler alert: do not read this sequel until
you have read the first book to avoid spoiling the ending). This time, Helen finds herself looking for
someone, she thinks a woman, who is killing men who frequent prostitutes,
cutting out their hearts and delivering the hearts to their nearest and
dearest. Something isn’t quite adding
up, but with aggressive newspaper reporter Emilia Garanita threatening to
expose all of Helen’s secrets if she doesn’t dish and a new boss, Detective
Superintendent Ceri Harwood who isn’t particularly fond of Helen, on her case,
it makes her question her own instincts.
Helen often appears stoic and has an unusual form of stress relief, but
ultimately cares about those on her team as much as getting justice. As with the first novel, Arlidge delivers one
last twist when it seems there are none left to be had. This series is several books longer in the UK
ensuring US fans many more mysteries with Helen Grace to come.
