Not bad. Definitely was invested in what happened to faiths mom. Didn’t expect the twist of why they were going after her.

I thought I’d given up the Will Trent series for good after reading the first four a few years ago and finding them a tad lacklustre compared to Slaughter’s Grant County series. However, silly me spontaneously bought The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter thinking it was a standalone, only to find out it was in fact the TENTH book in the Will Trent series. Not wanting to waste my hard earned money, I thought I’d give the fifth book a try in order to kickstart a new love for this series. Unfortunately, I was left a little underwhelmed.
Karin Slaughter is one of my all time favourite authors, so of course I enjoyed stepping back into her dark and twisted storytelling. There’s just something about this series that doesn’t excite me as much as the Grant County series did. Unfortunately when it comes to which detective duo I prefer between the two series, Grant County is easily the winner and so I feel that the Will Trent series will always feel sub-par to me.
Saying all that, I did enjoy this book and will probably continue the series at a slow pace. It’s just a shame that these books have likely been ruined for me because I can’t help but compare both series!
