Second Watch

Minneapolis reader, September 24, 2006

SECOND WATCH is a cop novel with a complex story told through strong characters. The plot deals with two children found dead in back alley dumpsters and the journey trod by officers Katherine Murphy and Grace Stevens to solve the mystery. Kat and Grace are strong women of different backgrounds working as
partners in the Seattle police force. Clausen creates a fine relationship between the two and molds the scenario with remarkable wordsmithing. It truly shows the author's strengths as a writer, and the novel is an original. A good read! Builds beautifully on its predecessor, First Avenue.
