⚠️As a note check trigger warnings prior to reading this book⚠️
I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit of a slow burn, but I’m glad I stuck around. The story centers around Cal a young detective. He is considered a hero for stopping a mass shooting in the city of Alexandria. Cal doesn’t feel like a hero he is relentlessly bullied by the other detectives and is suffering from severe PTSD. After finding a body in a tree Cal starts to insert himself into the investigation. It starts out as intrigue and morphed into an attempt to be the hero he is labeled. The crimes were relentless and incredibly dark. Throughout the story the murders were so gruesome they were compared to Jack the Ripper. There were so many unexpected twists in this story.
I really enjoyed the characters including the side characters. They were so likable and others not so much. I would compare this to Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent series. So if you like those and are attempting to patiently wait for the next book, this book will make the wait more enjoyable
