I like Karin Slaughter's books a lot, and this is another great instalment in the Will Trent series. Slightly slower to start than some of the other books, but still an exciting read with plenty of twists and turns. It did start to feel slightly implausible towards the end, but the stakes are so high with Will and Sara's characters that it seems impossible to have them solve a crime that isn't a little bit unbelievable, and I definitely don't read this series for a completely realistic storyline.
