Worlds collide when Will Trent comes to Grant County to investigate the suicide of a young man in police custody. And Sara Linton just happens to be home for the holidays, seething with vengeance against Lena Adams. It’s not just the suicide of Tommy that raises Sara’s hackles, but the treatment of the suspect by his arresting officer, Lena. Sara is convinced that Tommy is incapable of the murder Lena arrested him for, that Lena coerced Tommy’s confession, and that Lena is ultimately responsible for Tommy’s death.
As the body count rises, Will’s investigation falters because of blatant Grant County police corruption. I thought the motives and the overall conclusion were a little too tidy and not as Slaughter-esque as what I’ve come to expect. I did enjoy how Will met Sara’s family and that their familiarity is becoming more comfortable. But what I loved best was how Will got to mess with Lena’s mind as he tried to trip her up into revealing her shoddy detective work. As conniving and shifty as Lena can be, it was delightful watching her squirm under Will’s scrutiny.
