Racial slurs were completely unnecessary to the plot. Writing was repetitive. Plot dragged on and on. Was taken out of the story many times. Skip this book

This book could have been so much more if it didn’t rely on racism for the main villain. The story was fine, unbelievable at times, but nothing too crazy for thrillers. However, I had to stop myself from throwing the book across the room more than once at its blatant racism and the fact that it seemed like Taylor Adam’s has never met a women in his life, with how Darby was written.
