The majority of what I read is audiobooks. The first time I tried reading this, I got through about 5 minutes and let the book expire because it didn't hold my interest. I made myself check it out again and again struggled to find interest in the story. The premise sounded great, and I've read books by Slaughter before that I really liked.
I didn't know this was the end of a series when I picked it up, but I don't think that would have made any difference. The backstories were pretty well explained and didn't have much bearing on the story itself. After 2 hours in (the book is 16 hours long), I still wasn't sure if it was for me, but I was determined to stick it out. I finally finished it today. The last probably 3 or 4 hours were decent, but I still found myself checking how much time was left. I'll read more standalone books, but I doubt I'll be revisiting Will Trent.
