4.5🌟

P.J. Tracy's 'City of Secrets' is the fourth book in the Detective Maggie Norton Seeies. P.J. Tracy is the pseudonym for Traci Lambrecht, and she started these books with her mom.

Maggie and Al are called to crime scene, which end up being the killing of a CEO of Peppy Pet. He is in the part of town he has no reason to be. Sam Easton is asked by his mom to check on a friend whose wife has been kidnapped. Soon, these two crimes ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read become entangled in a mess of other things. Just how big will this case become?

There's a lot going on in 'City of Secrets '. Tracy ties it all up nicely. I was intrigued from the beginning. Maggie and Remy's relationship development is notched up a bit. Sam continues to battle demons but may have a new job on the horizon. His relationship with Melidy takes a step forward. Tracy is developing all the characters, not just the main ones, that gives great depth to the book.

LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan is struggling to move forward after the death of her brother in Afghanistan. Her mother is also having a hard time & Margaret is afraid her parent's relationship is falling apart. Margaret goes to the Hotel Bel-Air for cocktails with a colleague & while there they discover a body in the lake on the grounds of the hotel. Nolan soon finds herself investigating a cabal that might just destroy her and everyone she loves.

EadieB This is the 2nd book in Tracy's new series and it got off to a slow start. It wasn't until the last third of the book that it finally took off. I actually liked the first book better than this one. Hopefully, the next book will hold my interest more or I will have to give up on this series. I loved the Monkeewrench series with it's humor which this one seems to be missing. Thanks to NetGalley and Minotaur books for an ebook. 3y

This is a fun series with unique characters. I was very sad when her mother died 3-1/2 years ago.

Andrew65 An excellent series that I need to get back to! 4y

9th book in Monkeewrench series and the best so far. Books should be read in order. Monkeewrench crew is called in to solve a murder and to thwart a terror attack. Characters are unique and humorous. Plot keeps pages turning. Surprise ending. If you haven‘t started this series you should. Thanks to #netgalley for an ARC.

Suzze I am so behind in this series! I have #5 on the shelf and it has been there for a LONG time. I need to stop buying and start reading what I have. Hahahahahahahahaha. 6y
Victoria_C I got this from netgalley before realizing it was 9th in a series I haven‘t read. I may mark this one as “not giving feedback “. 6y
Andrew65 I haven‘t got past book 5 yet. @Suzze 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 @Suzze You both need to catch up. This last one was written solely by the daughter as the mom died and the daughter did a great job with this one. 6y
EadieB @Victoria_C It would make sense to read the others first but you can read it as a stand-alone. 6y
Suzze @EadieB I didn‘t know she had died. 😢 6y
EadieB @Suzze google this about her mother‘s death: Traci Lambrecht on Losing Her Mother and Writing Partner
