Betting Blind by Lily Gardner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm not a fan of reading books in a series where I haven't read the first book, but this was an exception. Book 2 of the Lennox Cooper series is worth it.
An ex police woman who was kicked out of the Portland force, Lennox is now a PI. In this book she has to work as hard as she can when one of her best friends and poker buddies is accused of murdering a young girl, who also happens to be one of his "clients" as he's a parole officer. And what's worse, he's been caught -on tape- of acts that will probably end his career even if the murder accusation doesn't. Lennox is an ace poker player and her friends are all she has, so when one of them is in trouble this serious, they will all do the impossible to help.
Add to this an ex-lover, who is also a very dirty police man and you have a very good thriller. It's fast paced and things keep happening.
Lennox is also a great female character, who doesn't apologize for what she is or for what she wants. She has made mistakes, many of them, and all she has is to learn from them.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
