Great start to a series of new characters for this author. I have read Grant County which I was told to read before this since some characters do make an appearances at some point in this series.
I like this author for a more dark thriller. For the fact that there are flawed characters even in the "heroes" and the likable people. The suspense is great and the build of characters is wonderful. There are some parts that are very gruesome or graphic. I don't feel this takes away from the story or the style of writing at all. Everything fits. It does jump around in time a bit and for awhile it focused on John Shelley which had me wanting to get back to Will Trent and the investigation, but in the end it came together well and was worth it.
