This is a phenomenal book and Will Trent is one of my favorite characters. This book has a lot of dark things to include sexual assault, murder, physical abuse, abuse (sexual and physical) to minors, and at times offensive language. However, I think Karin Slaughter talks about these things as horrible and disgusting from the perspective of law enforcement. This is to say she does this with respect and care needed for the subject at hand. 

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.
