I had watched some of the TV series based on these books first, so I was a little confused by one of the TV series regulars and who he is in this first book. Other than that, I can imagine the characters as cast in the show, and this first book is so much more than the show itself. I think I’m going to enjoy finishing those series by book. For new readers, be forewarned there are a lot of triggers in the content.

Good opening book of a series. 
jaw dropping when they reveal that the neighbor

was only 15

I had to go back and re listen. 
Toward the end it felt like it got gratuitously bloody and gave me the ick.

4.5

Again a very gruesome and horrific thriller which had me engrossed from the start till the end. All th3 surprises were sprung upon the reader in the first half of the book. There’s no big twist at the end but the path leading to the resolution had me captivated all book long. Like with Lena I did wonder how Will and Angie can do their jobs properly with everything going on in their lives, both in the past and the present. And again I wonder at how all the characters in Slaughter’s books have such troublesome lives. I also wonder how Slaughter would manage writing a thriller less gruesome but just as engrossing…
