This book uses some words that are outdated and offensive towards trans people, disabled people, and women's sexuality. It is not a major part of the book but it is jarring to read them in 2024.

Not my favorite work from Karin but a good addition to the Will Trent series overall. I enjoyed the book's exploration of learning disabilities and how the foster care system can impact one's childhood and therefore their adult lives. Not really gagged by Will and Angie Polanski's relationship but luckily Karin seems to be just as disinterested in developing them as I am in reading about them!

Not enjoying Will Trent as much as I enjoyed Grant County. Hoping the series picks up in the next book or I might DNF the series
