5.0
Echt een heel spannend verhaal en een goede afsluiting van de serie Grant County.
De plottwisten kwamen soms zo onverwacht dat het echt gissen bleef wie de dader was. Dit vind ik prettig in thrillers, aangezien het anders saai wordt. De verhaallijnen zijn allemaal goed aan bot gekomen en allemaal goed afgesloten. Hierdoor is het ook dat ik deze serie nu goed af kan sluiten en ik denk met mij veel meer lezers van deze serie.
Het verhaal speelde zich in de huidige tijd af, maar ook in de verleden tijd (als in een paar dagen voor het verhaal begint), dit was op sommige stukken wel even "o ja, verleden tijd", maar storend vond ik het niet. Uiteindelijk wordt alles duidelijk.
De personages en hun gevoelens zijn ook goed uitgewerkt en hierdoor las het verhaal goed weg. Het enige jammere vond ik dat waar het mee begon met Sara met een korte melding afgedaan wordt. Hier had ik graag iets meer duidelijkheid over gewild, maar aangezien het niet storend was voor het verhaal, geef ik het boek wel de volle 5 sterren.

Anyway, this book was typical for Slaughter, but definitely weaker than what I've read from her before. Her penchant for torturing women was a lot less pronounced in this book, so I will give her credit for that, but that was the only redeeming quality. I didn't care much for the characters, there were plot lines that went nowhere and were irrelevant to most of the story and moving through time made the plot hard to follow. I get using time/scene jumps for drama, but in this case, it just made it hard to follow.
I think now that I've gotten a bit more into the crime/thriller genre, especially in terms of series, I'm learning some authors are just not worth reading everything from, and Slaughter might be one of those.
