Probably my favorite so far in the Will Trent series. Never dragged. The backstory unfolded just enough to make everything that was happening make sense.

I would give it 5 stars if it weren’t for Sara making me roll my eyes for hours X

I'm so glad this did end up being about Will Trent undercover! Slaughter did a great job taking the reader back and forth in time on this one, only revealing things exactly when she wanted to. And while the scale of the time jumps wasn't nearly as dramatic this time as it was in the sixth book, they continued to be an extremely effective way to tell the story. I love how each of the Will Trent books are so different from each other while still all being completely riveting.

(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
Lena is back and in trouble again...her team was involved in a raid that injured two police officers and now she and her husband are attacked at home. Will is undercover and finds himself on a lookout for the attack on Lena and Jared. Sara comes to Nell's aid as Jeffery's proxy and her anger over Lena's part in Jeffery's murder bubbles up. As Will and Lena search for Big Whitey Sara is just trying to get breathe.
I was not pleased that Lena was back...yet, she makes a good foil for a story. Like many in the novel I was waiting for to suffer the consequences. Slaughter has a way of not just writing villains but also good yet flawed characters. Lena is a police officer who wants to do good and justice but she thinks differently and her unresolved mental issues some times sways her to the wrong. Then we have a heroine like Sara - doctor and coroner - who for the most part stays on the right path. Putting these two women together sparks fire.
The case of unmasking and finding Big Whitey was exciting and kept me flipping pages while Lena and the raid had me skimming. It was not till the end of the raid flashbacks that it becomes interesting. Overall this novel, in the Will Trent series, is worth the read and will keep you up at night.
