The Summer Children has got to be my favourite book by Dot Hutchison so far.
Dark and graphic like the first two books in the series, the story draws you in an keeps you captivated throughout. I honestly didn't want to put it down, but had to go to sleep!
The book is fantastic: amazing character development, horrific and descriptive scenes that make you feel so emotional and a great pace for this type of story. Written from the point of view of Mercedes Ramirez, you learn more about her own history and reasons for joining the FBI. For me, introducing her Spanglish into the narrative only solidified her as a character alongside her platonic love for Eddison (platonic love does not get as much publicity as it should and it was beautifully done).
An extremely well-written thriller and police procedural that you're definitely going to want to read!

J’ai aimé ça, mais ça sort vraiment de ce que j’ai l’habitude en terme de roman policier! J’ai aimé avoir les 2 POV pour mieux comprendre.

I will say this, these books are a read on tough subjects but in the end as in real life, child molesters and child abusers get what's coming to them eventually. Karma is a bitch.
For a book to make me bawl the way this one did... I can give it nothing less than 5 stars. Early on and for a minority of the time did I feel like some of it was long-winded and unnecessary. Other than that I was captured by the story and shocked and heartbroken. I have never felt closer to characters in a story like this one.
