Last night I read Slaughter's novella Busted, which is the prequel to Unseen, and enjoyed the story but was left wanting more of Will and was disappointed that Sara wasn't even in the story. The short story opens with Will in a convenience store in Georgia getting a drink when all hell breaks loose. A man tries to rob the store but then a cop is shot, the clerk goes missing and the money...is any one's guess. Will, a GBI agent, is undercover as Bill the criminal and soon finds himself involved in a crime with twists and turns.

Honestly, I hated all of the non-recurring characters in this one. They weren’t even fun to hate. But, Slaughter spins a good yarn, and it’s always interesting to watch Will Trent unravel a crime with Faith and Amanda. It’s a low pick, for sure, but still an entertaining addition to the series.

This was just plain fun and had some great dry humor that had me chuckling.

This was a nice Will Trent novella. Just a day in his life as a cop.
