Book Review
All Good Deeds

I had a million-and-one things to do on Saturday, but I only got one done: Start Stacy Green’s “All Good Deeds.”

The story is nothing less than gripping. “Lucy Kendall” grabbed me on the first page and never let go. She still hasn’t because I’m so anxious to read the next two books in the series.

Lucy is a private investigator, and former Child Protective Services worker, who is frustrated because repeat child sex offenders keep getting out of jail. So, she decides to bring them to justice herself.

As she is about to exact her brand of justice on one of the slime balls, he disappears. But then self-proclaimed sociopath Chris Hale enters the picture, tells Lucy he admires her, and wants to learn from her.

The next day, a little girl goes missing and Lucy thinks one of her former clients – who, as a 10-year-old, got sent to jail for raping and murdering a young girl – is behind it. She enlists the help of the “sociopath” as the trail leads to intriguing and surprising destinations.

Add to the mix that the detective assigned to the missing girl case is the brother of Lucy’s former CPS client. She’s worried he is going to cover things up so his brother doesn’t get sent back to prison.

This is a page-turner if there ever was one. When you pick up “All Good Deeds,” make sure you don’t have anything else planned for the rest of the day.
