This book was definitley the darkest of the trilogy so be prepared. It was more of a thriller than a mystery and was definitley not relaxing but in a good way. The second book of the series was a bit of a let down but that must have just been middle book syndrome as the series came out with a bang. The final book links heavily to the two before as the cases link nicely which is satisying to read. I really enjoyed this book so definitley read if you're a fan of the others! ALSO I LOVE RAVI SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 THE LAST PAGE HAD ME IN TEARRRRSSSS
