Not terrible, kept me hooked until the end. Wasn’t particularly fond of Amanda, and there wasn’t much in terms of character development, besides Will leaving Angie. Other than that, the story gripping enough that I was hooked and actually bought the whole Will Trent series of books.

This was my first Will Trent book but certainly not my last. I don't know why I skipped to #5 in my TBR but I did. That didn't take away from the story. 
Slaughter definitely knows how to write a thriller! There were some turns of phrases in this book that were......harsh. Slaughter throws in lines and curse words that make you go "really?? was that necessary?" The one that stands out to me is "get the dirt out of your vagina." Uh.....o.k. Haven't heard that one before. And a lot of the c-word.
Still, the story was good (although, I thought the big twist at the end was a little farfetched) and it was fast paced which is exactly what I was looking for. 
I'm very interested in reading more of her works. I know there are a lot so I'm happy to add her to my rotation of "treats" - authors that I know will give me a good story.

So many open questions explained in this one. And an ending I’ve been rooting for through the last few books.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were good and it's nice to see them continue to develop. The plot was good, there were a few twists and it was predictable at times.
