I like how this book focuses more on Sara and Jeffery’s past and how subtle hints to some aspects of this were dropped in within previous books and were looked at in greater depth in indelible. I also liked how two different points in their lives were used and connected to the real-time storyline.

Favorite of the Grant County series so far. I think Slaughter does a great job of navigating both triggering content and characters with care. I love how Sara Linton had served as the moral compass for this cast of characters, but after this book I’m siding eyeing her ability to overlook major red flags when it comes to Jeffery. Let’s just say he must be laying it down QUITE well.
