I think this was her first published book. It was good, but the other ones I’ve read by her were so much better. Still, it’s good getting to know Will Trent’s doctor friend.

Not bad, definitely dark and graphic. Guessed correctly who the perpetrator was. Lena sucks and Jeff and Sara are complicated. Might continue with the series but also not rushing to finish it.

As someone who usually reads slower paced books that describe every little detail, i loved how fast this book was. I want to continue reading more books but with the books i usually read can be too time consuming. This book however dives straight into the story and i just about had time buckle in for the ride. What I mainly loved was that despite being fast paced, it does not lack in detail and setting up the story. Can't wait to read more from Karin.
