I cannot lie, I love a good, twisty detective story. It's one of my guilty pleasures

Only negative is that the crime fighter ended up the victim of the criminal and that sometimes becomes exhausting.

7/10. I enjoyed The Wife, The Better Sister and The Ex more than this one. This is a police procedural, and I come to Alafair Burke for courtroom drama and twisted family dynamics. I enjoyed it, nonetheless. It's a bit hard to follow at times, there are a lot of moving pieces, but Ellie Hatcher is a very likeable main character. I'll be reading more of this series.
