Will Trent is such a GOOD MAN. He is purely good in his professional life, and woefully unlucky in his personal life. His terrible childhood have left scars both emotionally and physically, these have serious ramifications in his life. While this is evident and always on the surface, he has always been able to do his job well, and manage the hard parts while dealing with cases that require a lot of care.

Sara Linton is now deeply involved in the cases he comes across, her presence is welcome as they are both fantastically written characters, moral and sensible when many around them are not. Faith Mitchell is an excellent ally, but here we find her in deep trouble. It was always curious the history with her mother, who Will just happened to investigate for corruption, this was alluded to - she did lose her job but retain her pension.

Karin Slaughter weaves together her characters, their backgrounds and personality clashes very well. Angie is a queen manipulator, and here we learn more about her childhood, and the inexcusable behaviours toward Will. Sara does seem to run into her at the most inopportune times; the one liners excellent - Angie's vindictiveness on show, and Sara's self control top notch. The twisted dance that is Will and Angie is addictively troublesome.

This is why Will and Sara blend seamlessly. Amanda Wagner shows her teeth, she packs so much into her tiny stilettos, never missing a beat. One scene with Will took my breath away - her callousness v. his strength of conviction. LOVE HIM.

Another excellent chapter in this powerful series, I love this author's work, she can do no wrong in my eyes. Love it all.

I listened to to this via the Libby app and my public library. Propulsive, gripping. I am riveted at every moment of these books.
