The Pledge by Kathleen Kent

5.0

Thanks to the publisher, via Edelweiss, for an advance e-galley for honest review.

4.5ish stars, rounded up. I am both relieved and sad to see this trilogy come to an end. Relieved, because Betty Rhyzyk has been through too much to push her through more stories (Betty, it's time for some therapy, okay?). Sad, because this is a truly excellent procedural series, and Betty is one of those characters that has really gotten under my skin. Don't try to read this as a standalone, there is too much history to pick up on all of it without going back. If you are a fan of gritty police dramas, I haven't read many that are as good as this one is.
