I loved the back-and-forth of this mystery and without giving too much away, it was great to go back in time and re-engage with characters from the past. One of them I don't think we're done with and I hope I'm right... oh yeah and it was a great mystery too! ( )

This is the first book in the Will Trent series that I have read. It took me a while to sort out who was who, especially with the alternating timelines and all the intersecting story lines.
The pace in the second half of this story really picked up and I didn't want to stop reading this story.

I feel like I would benefit from starting this series from the beginning. Added to TBR. ( )

This is the 10th book in the Will Trent series. The only other book I’ve read in this series is the 9th one, I don’t think it needs to be read to know what’s going on. The author does a really good job of filling you in on the characters’ past lives.
Will is an investigator with the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) and he’s investigating a prisoner killing during a riot. One of the inmates claims to have been framed by corrupt police officers, that he is innocent and that the real serial killer is still out there. Days before the prison riot, a young woman was murdered. Will must look into the previous crimes as well as the recent murder to determine if it’s the same person or someone else.
The story unfolds alternating between the past story and the current story. The past story involves Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver. Sara is the medical examiner and Jeffrey is the police chief. They are investigating a series of murders of young women in which they were paralyzed and a trophy was taken from each one. The current story involves Sara and Will (with his team) investigating the current murder and determining if the inmate is innocent or not.
A forewarning, it can be graphic and disturbing at times, especially when describing the crime scenes and the autopsy proceedings. However, I’ve really enjoyed the 2 books in this series that I’ve read and am looking to read others in the series as well as others by this author.

Well done story, although I figured it out about 2/3 of the way through. I always enjoy Karin Slaughter's work.

This book could have benefitted from one more round of copy editing/proofing, as I found several typos, but that did nothing to deter my enjoyment of the story. ( )

The story moves at a steady pace with attention to detial. Complex well devloped characters adds to the compelling story. Suspnseful, intense, thrilling a good read. Fans of Karin Slaughter will not be disappoined in this Will Trent installment. ( )
