Thanks to Peggy Townsend, Thomas & Mercer, and Netgalley for providing me with a digital advance copy of this novel.

The Thin Edge is Peggy Townsend’s second novel featuring journalist Aloa Snow. This novel picks up shortly after the last one left off, and I was happy to fall back into the life of Aloa and her quirky cast of friends. Here, Aloa investigates the brutal murder of the wife of a former FBI agent, who has been rendered a paraplegic as the result of a tragic accident. I found this mystery interesting and the characters engaging. Townsend does a great job of describing San Francisco, and she creates characters (like Aloa’s older group of sidekicks) who are interesting, likeable, and believable. I didn’t enjoy this novel quite as much as the first one, See Her Run – I figured it out early on, and I found the side story involving the homeless murders distracting and not fully developed/explained. Still, I enjoyed this novel and would recommend it. This is a series to watch!
