once again i really enjoyed this book. i loved the plot and all the intricacies there were. i think karin slaughter’s plots are just alway A+. i really like Faith, and i’m excited to see more from her character going forward. i also really like Will and i can’t wait to see how he grows.

The characters in this series are completely different from those in Karin Slaughter's Grant County series in that they are all so incredibly likable.
Yes, GBI agent Will Trent is damaged, but he is also one of those people who never allows adversity to defeat them. His intelligence and resilience are amazing, and his lack of social skills and graces make him all the more endearing.
Will's partner, Faith Mitchell, is also very engaging. Despite her personal animosity toward Will, she is able to look past her bias and focus on what needed to be done to solve the case.
Will's supervisor, Amanda Wagner, is one tough cookie, but it is obvious that she has his best interests at heart, and it will be interesting to discover more about their history as there is definitely more to their relationship than meets the eye.
One cannot help but compare Angie Polaski to Lena from the Grant County. Nevertheless, their similarities only go so far, and one significant difference is a certain self awareness on Angie's part, which Lena is lacking. This makes her a much more appealing character.
The case is gripping from the very first page and following the investigation with all its twists and turns makes it impossible to put down. As the truth of the convoluted crime emerges, one cannot help but feel even more for the suffering of the victims, and rejoice when the perpetrators receive their just deserts.
In sum, another fantastic story from Slaughter and I am looking forward to the next book in which the Grant County and Will Trent series merge together.

Ça faisait un moment que je n'avais pas lu un policier et je pense comprendre pourquoi.
C'est un genre de livres avec lesquels on se fait sa propre enquête dans sa tête et qui nous surprend à la fin par l'identité du meurtrier. Bon et bien pas avec celui-là. C'était confus au point que j'avais du mal à suivre l'avancée de l'enquête et du mal à comprendre comment et pourquoi.
Je me suis laissée bercer par l'enquête sans m'y plonger car j'ai trouvé qu'il n'y avait pas assez de détails pour nous laisser enquêter nous-même et ce fût bien dommage. C'était pas affreux, c'était pas amazing, c'était so so.
Je suis rarement épatée par les policiers, je préfère les thrillers psychologiques!
