An incredibly grisly climax to the Grant County series. As always thrilling and unputdownable. If crime thrillers are your thing, I highly recommend. Slaughter is the queen.

** SPOILERS ** I'm going to say what happens in the last chapter. If you haven't read the Will Trent series then stop reading.
To start: a quick disclosure that I read the Will Trent series before the Grant County series.
When I got to the last book of the series, I knew Jeffrey was going to die. And .. I thought I knew how. Which was a special little jump scare at every turn.
I loved this book. I was completely surprised on the leader and culprit. I felt the whole thing was plausible. And through out little clues were dropped that helped the reader feel like they were piecing it together.
I was gonna give it 5 stars until the last chapter.
I know Jeffrey has to die and the pages are quickly dwindling. He arrived home (surprise) and finds out that the adoption agency was going to give Sara and him a 9 month old. (Will Trent readers know the joy for Sara and also the weight of the deep knowledge of her future.) She goes to call the social worker back, Jeffrey goes to the mailbox and is killed by a mail bomb. A bomb. Jaw drops. In Will Trent book series they said he was shot. And for that discrepancy, I dock the score. Because it is infuriating for such a simple mistake between book series.
I love Karin Slaughter. She's a great and thorough author. But the two biggest mistakes I've read is the alternate circumstances around Sara's rape and Jeffrey's death which makes the two series feel disjointed.

This was actually my favorite of the grant county series but yes I’m glad it’s done
I thought this story was one of the more interesting ones in the Grant County series, but it lost points for how quickly the author tore apart the characters’ entire lives in the last 2 pages. It was a 500 page book and I was having fun for the first 498 pages. I will of course continue reading her work, but over the past 2 months I’ve enjoyed the romance of Jeffrey and Sara, and it will be sorely missed. As fun it was to read a mass market paperback, I missed Kathleen Early’s narrations! Onto the Will Trent series…
Good read
I love this series. It has yet to disappoint me, that is, until the end of this one. Not sure if I will continue reading the series anymore.

I’m heart broken…..
Reread and reread the last chapter. I threw the book across the room because I just don’t want to accept the outcome. Ugh

Okay, so I pulled up my big girl pants and finally re-read this book (reading the authors books again in order) and as I thought, 16 years down the line, I haven’t recovered from Jeffrey’s death
