Sara Marshall, the daughter of a proud, three-generation line of Philadelphia cops, has committed the unpardonable sin. While trying to save the life of another cop, Sara has shot and killed a black female. This event has intensified an already volatile face-off between the Philadelphia Police Department and the city's large black population. There is another side effect of this unfortunate shooting. Sara's career crashes, as does her love life, and her relationship with her own family.
Before her dismissal from the Philadelphia Police Department--a dismissal Chief Tony Spango euphemistically calls an "administrative leave of absence"--Sara was investigating several murders that she is convinced were all committed by the same individual. The MO of the killer in each case was identical and yet the victims--a high school band director, a notorious pimp, and a blue collar spouse abuser--appear to have absolutely no connection with each other.
A fourth murder occurs. This time it is Father Mark Donnelly, rector of St. Michael the Angel Catholic Church. The fifth victim is Pastor Bob Messier, Director of Christian Education at the Grace Methodist Church. Each victim is a man. Each has been executed with a single bullet to the back of the head. Each has a Bible quote pinned to his body. When the media and social networks discover the notes were all written with lipstick, they are immediately convinced the killer is a woman, and quickly label her the Madonna Vigilante.
Despite her ostracism by the police department, Sara Marshall is drawn back into these cases by her ex-partner, Kevin Stiles, whose police work has been hampered by his own personal struggles and by his wife's illness.
Sara's unofficial investigation brings her in contact with several suspects, all of whom have a special affinity to handguns. Each of them also has an underlying dislike of men. The question becomes can that dislike turn into hatred? And can that hatred lead to murder? In other words, who IS the Madonna Vigilante? And why is she--or he--killing people?
The final answer and the final confrontation takes place on a major city thoroughfare whose official name is the Schuylkill Expressway. To Philadelphians, it is not-so-affectionately called the Sure-kill Speedway. And a running gun battle between Sara Marshall and the killer illustrates the accuracy of the nickname.

This wasn’t a bad book. Nor was it a good one. It was just mediocre.It has an interesting plotline – a killer roaming Philadelphia executing men who abuse and molest women and children – hampered by the author(s) constantly shifting points of view (and constantly adding new ones), which broke up the flow of the story, giving it a scattered feel. Many of the subplots seemed unrelated (or only very peripherally related) to the main one, adding to the disjointed feeling. And many of them popped up only to disappear shortly thereafter, never to be seen again.
The climax started off well but the author(s) didn't carry it through to the end. The ending read as if the author(s) are planning more books in this series.
Sadly, what I read wasn’t good enough to make me want to read more.
And an aside to Amazon: How about formatting all Kindle books with page numbers. Is that too much to ask?

The Madonna Vigilante edition by Aabra Russ Heitz Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The city has a new vigilante spanning the streets taking the lives of men in a single clean shot, mostly on the head. Sara Marshall, a young police officer is at the verge of a turning point in her career and has to drop her many homicidal cases that she believes to have a link and has to face threats about a recent firing she is being tried at. More bodies pile up and the killer is given the name Madonna Vigilante by the media as the killer drops a note in lipstick at every crime scene, pinned to the victim’s body.
The mystery deepens into an exciting thriller and the reader starts identifying with the Madonna Vigilante who carries out assassinations the way we yearn to do in most cases. And then it happens….The story, instead of progressing by its own automatically hit a sudden brake where the plot came tumbling down to an abrupt ending with a car chase and everything seemed to end too early. Obvious hints kept dropping too frequently and she should have reserved it for the last at least prolonging to the mystery of the Vigilante a little while longer. However, the stories that comes interweaving, like the elderly couple and the bartender works well in adding to a game of diversion where true life and its complexities comes as a warming touch, or a bitter truth. The book would have been a competent thriller if it had a few more of elements rather than a hurried ending. There is a good potential though. Half of the book is tightly packed, keeping you guessing into what might happen next and then comes the loose knit hurried ending which was a letdown for me. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t keep the book away from a crime thriller list; just a bit more to excel, that’s all.
