I quickly became a fan of the FANTASTIC writer after reading the other book in this thrilling series. I love the heroine and her cop-like-tude,' clever and smart, charming when she wants to be, and tough enough when she has to be. I found her to be both likeable and believable. I look forward to reading another in this 'MUST READ" series!

Author Rosanna Filippello, Philadelphia police officer, hits her stride with her fourth book and second "Bee Angelo" novel. Homicide Detective Angelo chases and captures a serial rapist in this one, against a finely detailed and populated urban background. Like Simenon, Filippello is developing both a psychological drama and a police novel. She portrays convincingly the character of a serial sex criminal as well as the reluctance of his victims to accept victim status, and the frustration of the police in dealing with this reluctance and with the tensions and limitations of law enforcement. Warmly recommended, especially in the context of Filippello's earlier work.

The Angelo Series - Book 2 - Angelo shows her power and intelligence as she leads, follows up on clues, and ultimately bags the bad guy. We glimpse her compassion and insight into the criminal mind as she interviews one suspect after another. She has a knack for reading people and the ability to put differences aside when work calls.

It is obvious to those of us who follow Rosanna Filippello that she is a rising star in the literary world.

In the first book "Angel of Death," and the second book "Angel of Justice," in the "Angelo Mystery Series," penned by veteran Philadelphia Police Officer Rosanna Filippello, the reader is left anxious to read more.

The novels give readers an inside view of the Philadelphia police force at work. They allow one to see Philadelphia, "the city of brotherly love," in all it's splendor. It's a view that only a native to the area could offer. Filippello goes on to allow readers to glimpse the night life, the streets after dark, officers working diligently throughout the night to catch a serial killer.

These books bring out the best of the Philadelphia police force with their portrayal of the heroic and self-sacrificing men and women ever vigilant in their surveillance of the city. Filippello, offers insight into these officers, both male and female, as they subtly bond as family while working shoulder to shoulder to protect the sleepy, unsuspecting city of Philadelphia and the people they love.

Angelo shows her power and intelligence as she leads, follows up on clues, and ultimately bags the bad guy. We glimpse her compassion and insight into the criminal mind as she interviews one suspect after another. She has a knack for reading people and the ability to put differences aside when work calls.

Anyone who reads these books will be anxious to read the third one in the series. It is obvious to those of us who know and work with Rosanna Filippello that she is a rising star in the literary world.

Just keep in mind that "Angel of Justice," is the second book in the "Angelo Mystery Series," and readers should buy both books together because they are real page turners..

Angel of Justice--
A Serial Rapist Stalks the Women of Northeast Philadelphia. For B. Angelo, Philly's Top Homicide Detective, this Time it's Personal.
PHILADELPHIA, PA- A clever and experienced serial rapist is stalking women in Northeast Philadelphia only no one knows he is out there yet. That is until Detective B. Angelo gets a frantic telephone call from a close friend who is his latest victim. Angel of Justice is a present day police drama by Rosanna Filippello.
Even though Angelo's friend does not want to report the assault, the detective takes it upon herself to contact the Special Victims Unit. A young SVU investigating officer, Susan Thompson, is assigned the case as a favor to Angelo. Thompson knows she was given the dead-end job because of her inexperience. There was no evidence left behind, but she has a feeling that this is not the assailant's first assault. Taking the initiative and reviewing the cold case files, Thompson uncovers a frightening pattern with five similar assaults. Thompson goes to Angelo with her concerns after the SVU supervisor takes the cold cases from her and gives them to another officer, Trevor Seymour, to investigate.
Since Angelo cannot get directly involved for several reasons, she encourages the officer to continue her investigation. Nevertheless, Angelo knows in her gut that it is only a matter of time before one of this man's victims ends up dead. Sure enough, someone does die and now it is the Homicide Unit's turn to get involved. Angelo demands to be given the case and works with Thompson to identify this predator dubbed the Don Juan rapist. Will Angelo be able to stop this twisted man before he strikes again? Or will Officer Seymour get in her way of justice.
