I love Karin Slaughter and the Grant County series so far, this one just felt more all over the place than the previous two, and her other work. Also, Lena needs to catch a break, this poor woman.

This is the third book in Karin Slaughters Grant County series. I am really enjoying seeing the development of Jeffery, Sara and Lena throughout the series whilst being gripped by the many twists and turns these books always have. Another brilliant crime mystery that didn’t disappoint.
