Another great one. Was relieved Lena and Angie were absent from this one. Very much appreciate the attention she brings to there ever present jeopardies of being a woman and balancing that with the dedication of a man like Will, so that I can remember there are good men in the world too. And Amanda I’d really really really growing on me, quickly becoming my favorite character in this series. Really looking forward to the next one whenever it comes out.

Karin Slaughter never disappoints with her books. This was another one I read in one night because I just had to know the truth. I love a book that keeps me guessing and on my toes and Slaughter is a master at that. I love Will & Sara so much and I hope we see them for many more books to come. I also hope we continue getting glimpses into Faith's life because even with all the murder and mayhem she deserves her happy ending also.
