This book had multiple POV characters, but I can say that Slaughter handled each of their headspaces well. You grew to sympathise with those who were affected by the actions of the crimes committed in this story, and loathe the “baddies”, but in a way that was satisfying despite the obvious evil of the antagonists.
And I can't believe the series really ret conned some of the characters to the extent that they did. IYKYK.
