Nothing to Lose

Ziba MacKenzie, Book 2

By: Victoria Selman

Narrated by: Karen Cass

He’s looking for his next victim. She looks just like his last.

Primrose Hill, London. Criminal profiler Ziba MacKenzie arrives at the scene of a gruesome murder with a disturbing sense of déjà vu. Nine days earlier, another woman’s body was found: same location, same MO, same physical appearance. For the police, it’s clear a new serial killer is on the loose. But for Ziba, it’s even more sinister—because the victims look just like her.

Ziba has been the focus of a killer’s interest before and knows that if she gets too close again this case could be her last. Still, she’s not one to play by the rules—especially when her secret investigation into her husband’s murder begins to attract unwanted attention.

With someone watching her every step, can Ziba uncover what connects the two victims before she becomes one herself?

Ziba Is Great—Self Doubting But Acts Anyway

A good strong murder case with lots more thrown in. Ziba is still missing Duncan, her husband murdered 2 years ago, and suspects a hit from someone he worked with at Scotland Yard. Ziba is conflicted because she has been asked to join the murder team looking for a serial killer who is killing young women who look just like her although that is not the reason she was asked to join. She is a profiler with a special ops background. She is tough and smart but has a tendency to go it alone—not a good trait or a team player. While looking for the serial killer, she comes across a clue to Duncan’s death and she wants to pursue it as well. Duncan’s best bud, Jack Wolfe, wants to help but she even shuts him out. She is just afraid to feel again after Duncan’s death. This book isn’t quite as good as Book 1 but it deserves 5 stars because Ziba is just that kind of protagonist, she is fearless but knows the risks. Can’t wait for Book 3 because I see a romance in her future. I listened to most of the book in audible and narrator, Karen Cass, is terrific. Audible always makes the characters more real to me.

Awesome series

I liked both books all the way through. I am looking forward to book 3.

Ziba Mac on the move

A good listen. Not a classic but enjoyable none the less. Liking British women pursuing justice.

Good book!

I liked this one better than the first book! Much more intense and had me more invested in what was going to happen. I like that’s there’s multiple crimes she’s trying to solve and her personal growth and journey adds to the story. Defiantly recommend this one!

A series to watch.

I enjoyed this much more than I did the first one. It does start a little slow and I toyed with moving on, but it soon picked up and follows two different storylines. Epiphanies seem to come to the main character a little too easy and always at just the last minute, but that is my only quibble. There is quite a bit more "UK Speak" in this book than in most English novels I've listened to and I do believe I learned some new terms. I find it interesting how so much of their terminology is different even though we both speak the same language. I like the characters and I'm looking forward to the next book.
