The Janes (Alice Vega, #2)

Two girls, between the ages of 12-14 were found tortured then murdered in California near the Mexican border. When the second girl was found, she had a note gripped in her hand, Alice Vega is called into investigate. Alice listens to the government officials detail the findings and after negotiations decides to take the case. She gets help from a business partner, Max Caplan. She has unique ways of getting things done but she is a woman on a mission. Some may believe Alice doesn’t have any feelings. I think the way she is impartial gives her another way of looking at life. To me, she is an extremely deep character and I look forward to reading more of her series.

This book is intense and provides a lot of descriptions of characters and locations. It is written in third person point of view and moves quickly. Alice reminds me of the Samantha Brinkman character in Marcia Clark books.
