This book captured my attention from the start as I thought it was thriller, then it developed into a criminal investigation plot. I would say it is a mix of both. The other bit that pulled me is the medical background of the book. I guess like moth to fire I have to read it.
As it is my first time reading her book, I didn’t realise she was American, all the medical terms are American based and lack of an extra alphabet that is present in British English. If not for the medical terms, I probably wouldn’t realise it, as it isn’t as obvious in the later part of the book (or I may have got used to it). I’m sure this is the same with British writing read by American.
There are loads of repetition which is good for me as I now realised that this is the 10th book of Detective Will Trent, it gave me a background to the characters. This could be a little pain for readers who have read her books from the start though.
I love the nod of thanks to Healthcare professional and that we are better than google!
I try not to read the blurb these days to avoid the feeling of deja vu. But perhaps for this book I should have. It is quite harsh to read, it reminds me of the real world issues and internet safety and all.
So content warnings: rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse.
Thanks Karin Slaughter and HarperCollins for the advance review copy of the book via ReadersFirst and NetGalley in exchange of honest feedback.
