Eh. My least favourite in the series. The only thing that kept me going is that I already knew and cared about the characters. Pretty simplistic compared to her other books and I don’t know if the ending made a whole lot of sense to me.

I keep trying to like Lena in this series but dang it's really, really hard. Even Sara kinda ticked me off a bit, she seems prickly about silly things. I like these books enough to continue though.

i didn’t love this as much as i did the first two books, because i felt like this was a lot slower paced. there was more time for character building, which i did appreciate. the exploration of Lena’s trauma was incredibly interesting and i can’t wait to see where her story goes.

i would’ve rated it 3,5* if it weren’t for the reveal at the end, because that was jaw dropping to me.

Another great installment from Karin slaughter. Another striking read! Although a heavy read, I still think the second installment in the series was the most disturbing. I liked the growth and development of Sara's character. Check trigger warnings before reading this book.
