Obviously there were a good few things that were unrealistic in terms of the legal side of things (I will avoid spoilers here) but there were just enough hints at accurate things that it didn't bother me that much.
The reality of the characters brought a tear to my eye at times.
Overall I really enjoyed it!

I will not I hate Covid discussions in books and this one was HEAVY on the Covid discussions. Personally, I don’t like discussions that ground me in a certain timeframe. But the author explained why she chose to do this and I understand it is her preference.

The only thing I didn't like was how much reference there was to COVID (and NOT because I'm a conspiracy theorist like Phil). I just didn't feel like those details (i.e. referencing masks being up or down, etc) really added anything and it almost got distracting -- we've all lived with it for 3 years so I would have enjoyed getting lost in a story world where it doesn't exist, y'know?
All in all, incredible read as usual from Slaughter!!!
