Will Trent becomes a much more thought out and intriguing character in this second book. He is someone you root for and care about. As a reader you not only want Will Trent to solve his case, but you also want him to have some wins in life- which becomes clear is easier said than done. I can’t wait to keep rooting for this character….and his ancient dog Betty haha.

This book uses some words that are outdated and offensive towards trans people, disabled people, and women's sexuality. It is not a major part of the book but it is jarring to read them in 2024.nadia_ndco's review against another edition

Someone (Victor) or a scene made intentionally creepy to set us on the wrong foot is completely fine with me, I actually like that, WHEN followed by a twist/surprise. Which wasn’t the case in this book. I’m always looking for the character mentioned in the beginning and then never again so we’d forget about them, who ends up being the culprit.
So yeah, I found the book a page turner but the end didn’t satisfy me.. Because it was a real page turner, I’m still giving it 3.5 stars but definitely not as enjoyable as Triptych, though as I said in that review, I didn’t find that ending very surprising either, all the surprises were in the first half of the book…
