Probably the best one yet by Karin Slaughter! Brilliant, brilliant book! I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. So well written and full of tension, that it was hard to put down (and I had to because I read it on The Pigeonhole app and they released a stave a day, so had to wait until each stave was released!).
Another solid addition to the Will Trent series. The suspense builds over the course of the story and the ending is satisfying. I enjoy the character development in this series which always causes me to give an extra star to my rating. Highly recommended for fans of this series.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the digital advance review copy.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I read it out of order, and I can't wait to go back and read the other books in this series. Will Trent is a very likable character. I appreciated Sara Linton, but I found myself enjoying the chapters that were written from Will's perspective the most. I enjoyed the author's descriptive writing and deep knowledge of the subject matter.
Always good to read more from Karin Slaughter, I love this series and these characters. That said this wasn't my favourite instalment from her, it just felt a bit disconnected for me. Totally a me thing though!
