I’ve enjoyed all the Will Trent series so far and this was no exception. This was probably the least gory of the Karin Slaughter books I’ve read thus far, which I definitely appreciate. In general, I think this series does a great job of building the characters stories and making you invested. They could easily be formulaic crime dramas, but instead they’re well written with interesting cases and relationship dynamics that keep you engaged with the series. The crossover with the Grant County series was also pretty well done, and I’m already looking forward to seeing what happens with Will and Sara in the next book. Even though I find Lena pretty unlikeable I’m almost hoping we’ll get more follow-up on where she goes next too. Overall, solid addition to the series.
