After loving the first book in this series, I was all the more excited to pick this one up and enjoy it even more. 

Sadly, it fell short for me as I am not a huge fan of mysteries/thrillers that focus on police corruption. I also found that sometimes I didn't want to pick this one up, but I wanted to finish it out because I do love the characters.  

I do think that this second book did capture the role of the Police in Chicago. I would not be surprised if there is something like this (police teaming up with the mob in the city) is still happening. 

I also enjoyed that more of Mace's dogs played bigger roles in the plot. I love the inclusion of all of them besides Vira, plus we got a new pup! Hi, Bill! 

I still recommend picking up this series and I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that there will be a third. This book (and series) is a great "cozy-ish" mystery to pick up. Not too much drama but enough to keep you interest.
