212 is acclaimed author—and former deputy district attorney—Alafair Burke’s gripping thriller featuring hip, Manhattan-based detective Ellie Hatcher. Fans of Lisa Gardner, Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, Harlan Coben, Sue Grafton, and PJ Tracy will find it hard to put 212 down until the very last page.

Better than book 2 of the series

Hatcher & Rogan investigate the killing of a man in a Manhattan penthouse, probably something to do with the tryst that a leftover condom indicates happened. And then they also get the cases of the murder of the roommate of a prostitute and the murder of a different prostitute. Because this is a crime novel, we know all the cases will eventually be connected.

While I found the book better than the second Ellie Hatcher novel, Angel's Tip, 212 falls firmly in the category of average. Nothing is really a surprise here, and nothing is super interesting or particularly bothersome.
