Karin Slaughter’s internationally bestselling novels are as notable for their vivid portraits of lives shadowed by loss and heartbreak as they are for their dramatic criminal investigations. Her latest offering features the return of her most compelling characters and introduces memorable new ones in a tale of corruption, murder, and confrontation that will leave more than one life . . . When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisoner’s death. He doesn’t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesn’t understand her role in the death of Grant County’s popular police chief. He doesn’t understand why that man’s widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case.
Dr Sara Linton of Karin Slaughters Grant County series returns in her 2nd Will Trent novel. Sara is returning home to Grant County to spend Thanks Giving with her mum, dad and sister Tessa. A body is found in the lake and Sara is soon involved, helping the investigation.We return to Lena Adams and interim police chief Frank Wallace in a loving throwback to the memory of Saras husband, Jeffrey Tolliver.Four years after Jeffreys tragic death, we return to see how life has moved on for his police department. How Sara is coping with interacting with the his old police colleagues. It was great to see Lena back, she's such a complicated and deep character. I love and hate her at the same time. She has a pivotal role in this story, having a prisoner commit suicide whilst in her care. Working with Frank Wallace whilst Will Trent and Sara look into the death of Allison.I adored this book. Though I do believe to truly appreciate it you need to have read the Grant County series. There are so many ties to those books, so much that I loved catching up with some old 'friends'.Well done Karin Slaughter, you continue to be the greatest crime writer and puller of heart strings
I loved the juxtaposition of Sara’s life with Jeffrey and her getting to know Will. ❣️
