La Bloga: Review: Michele Martinez. The Finishing School.

“Last August I promised myself I’d read another Romilia Chacon mystery. It’s June and I haven’t, so it was with a pang of guilt that I picked up a detective novel featuring Melanie Vargas, a federal prosecutor working New York city’s sleazy crime scenes.

Michele Martinez’ current offering is The Finishing School. Two high school girls dead from heroin overdoses. A missing girl. A hunky cop and Melanie can’t connect. Single mom Melanie keeps her ex- in close proximity for child care and spontaneous sex. There’s a mixed bag of bad guys. The corrupt administrator at the fancy private school. The dead girl’s father. A flashy drug dealer.”
