In Lydia Cooper's wry and absorbing debut book, we are released to Mickey Brandis, an excellent 28-year-old doctoral prospect in medieval literature who is part Lisbeth Salander and part Dexter. She lives in her parents' garage and swears all too often, but she never complains about the rainfall or frigid, she rarely eats dead pets, and she hasn't wiped out a man since she was 10. Her life is uninteresting and predictable but legal, and she intends to keep it because of this. But the careful life Mickey has generated in adulthood is upended when she is mysteriously resulted in a condemned house where she discovers an exquisitely mutilated corpse. The identical surreal afternoon, she is asked with a timid, wall-eyed skill student to solve a murder that took place 20 years earlier. While she gets deeper and deeper into the investigation, she begins to lose hang on her tenuous connection to truth - to her maddening students and graduate thesis consultant; to her stoic parents, who are no more speaking; to her baffled, chameleon-like adolescent brother; and her older brother, Dave, a zany poet who is growing ever more erratic and keenly thinking about Mickey's investigation. Motivated by an remarkable voice, and filled up with razor-sharp wit and brilliant character types, My Second Death is a good, suspenseful book and a provocative study of family, commitment, the human psyche, and the secrets we maintain save ourselves.
