Hard to jump in and was confused by the characters until I realized I was in book #10 of a series! Hahah! No wonder! Loved the murder story line, bored with the love story line and not connected with most of the characters, but if I read 1-9 I will be!

A book with a minimal payoff - When one is reading a 500 pager thriller, I would expect the build up to have some sizzle. But the ending was very disappointing. I do not hate this book but could have been cut short to half, isn't it?

I'm becoming a Karin Slaughter junkie

So far this is my favorite book in the series. It makes me want to go back and read the Grant County series to get a better understanding of A key player in this book.
