Bloom follows See Isabelle Run (2005) with a tale of a New Yorker
transplanted back to the life she hasn't quite left
behind.Suspended from the NYPD for helping her boyfriend tamper
with a rape kit, detective Ginny Lavoie has no badge or gun when
she goes back to the Berkshires to help her childhood friend Sonya
find out who murdered her son Danny. But how could she refuse to
investigate a beating so vicious that even Ginny, who lived
upstairs from the Lavoie Funeral Home, finds the crime-scene photos
disturbing? It was Sonya's house where she ate pierogies while her
parents bickered, Sonya who sat through endless hours of Pippi
Longstocking movies with her at the Mohawk Theater, Sonya whose
childhood ended abruptly at 15 when her wayward sister, Paula, left
town, leaving infant Danny in her charge. Although she married her
high-school sweetheart Pete Markowicz shortly after graduation,
Danny was the only child Sonya ever had. So Ginny goes home-braving
increasingly persistent dinner invitations from Aunt Lisette and
even more dangerous invitations from her high-school honey Jimmy
Griffin to resume their turbocharged sexual relationship-to lock
horns with Chief Rolly and the other local VIPs content to pin the
crime on Jack O'Brien, a mentally challenged vagrant.Fast, sharp
and literate, Bloom's second makes you hope that, like Jimmy,
she'll give Ginny another tumble. (Kirkus Reviews)
Ginny Lavoie has just been suspended from her job with the NYPD
when she gets a late-night pghhone call from her childhead best
friend whose teenage son, Danny, was savagely beaten to death. Now,
Ginny is back in the scruffy New England mill town she left more
than a decade before to solve the murder of this handsome, popular
boy. But as she tried to untangle the secrets and lies simmering
beneath the town's surface, Ginny must confront childhod ghosts and
new demons. Having sworn to find Danny's killer, she sifts through
suspects ranging from the town's resident homeless Vietnam vet to
Manhattan hipsters to Danny's own stepfather. But when the town's
first murder in recent memory gives way to a second and then a
third, Ginny must race to find the killer's identity - before she
becomes victim no. 4.
