Lauren
Cop’s Daughter 2

by Laura Marie Henion

 

A Cop’s Daughter 2: Lauren, is the second in a series about women who are, like the author, the daughters of policemen. A homicide detective in New York City’s 53rd Precinct, the small-town girl from upstate is friends with Victoria and the Mardullo family from Book #1. Lauren takes place approximately one year later and the focus is on one woman’s emotions and determination instead of an extended family.

Lauren is far from alone. She is competent, successful, a rising star in the force who is popular with her co-workers. Her father and mother are only a phone call and an hour away, but there is still something missing for her. She tells herself “Get a life,” and as the saying goes, Lauren should be careful about what she wishes for! Within a week she overwhelmed with dead co-eds, protective mentors, a reluctant lover, a comatose subordinate and a serial killer who thinks dead-cop-Lauren in a poodle skirt will prove his invincibility.

The author’s preoccupation with the character’s physical fitness and great looks was repetitious at times; enough with the rock hard abs and bulging muscles, critical glances and self-evaluations. Almost every character had a chance to obsess over somebody’s physique, and it did not add to the story. And that story, by the way, was good. Woven between the mind of the killer and cops is a thread that holds the scenery together, binding up the loose ends with a surprise that I didn’t see coming, and neither did Lauren.
