This book starts of really well, and you wont be able to see it coming, and as the story moves on it talk about the life of main character in between, gets somewhat repetitive and ends with a easy predictable plot.
That doesn't mean its bad book, just the that opening was just too god damn good

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.

This book was written by a person of privilege  in 2006 and it shows… lots of offensive language and stereotypes

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…
