i enjoyed this series over all but the ending???? you’ve got to be kidding me.
Lots of twists that actually surprised me. The ending was so unexpected and heartbreaking! Great book, though.
I obsessively binge read this entire series…
*maybe spoilers?*
Just for my favorite character to die ON THE LAST PAGE?! OF THE LAST BOOK?! ARE YOU KIDDING?!

I really struggled to get through this book. Lena is such a caustic character that I stopped caring about her a couple of books ago in this series. Because this story primarily focuses on yet another mess that she has become embroiled in, I really didn’t give a crap about if or how she resolved it, so the story line utterly failed to engage me. Additionally, the ending was deeply unsatisfying. I’m not sure if I will pick up the author’s other books that merge these characters with new ones.
LETS GO, I'm ready to go back to Will Trent now babbyyy.

The last book in the Grant County Series. It took me a few days shy of three weeks to read and I enjoyed them. Well except for the ending of this book. For several reasons.
Again, it is the three main characters in a triangle involving a death at the beginning of the book. This time though Sara and Jeffrey of more of a team. Something I had hoped for but not in this way. Lena has come back to the force. She is strong but even more broken than ever. The setting is Lena's hometown, where Hank still lives. The bad characters involve swastikas, thugs, and drugs.
Lena's hunt for the truth of her mother's demise continues and nothing is as it ever seemed. The resolution is so near but alas, Angie Adam's secret stays that way. I hated the way so many loose ends were not tied by the end of the book. The ones that were, did not satisfy me. Angie's final secret fell flat. I was so disappointed after this author surprised me so many times in previous books. The very end was unexpected for one sentence and then I felt, "Oh, well yeah, not a surprise." And certainly not the big moment it should have been. A few paragraphs and that's it.
So much stuff still to unpack. I would have liked two, maybe three more books with these main characters. I am waiting (on hold) for[b:Triptych|21717|Triptych (Will Trent, #1)|Karin Slaughter|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442531921l/21717._SY75_.jpg|2479325], the first book in the Will Trent series. I read online that I should read the Grant series before those so I am hoping to see or hear about these characters again.

I listened to the audiobook of this.
A great addition to the Grant County series! Slaughter writes great thrillers and I'll always keep coming back.
