Still a favorite series of mine, just not the fan of the direction this book takes.

Kim arrives at a crime scene only to see her former partner calling jurisdiction on the case. After some squabbling the higher supervisors think it will be a great idea to work jointly on this case. Only in this case Kim is working with Travis's team while her team is working without their boss on their own crimes.

This book took a long while to get anywhere. It wasn't until the last 1/4 of the book do we get insight into the beef between Kim and Travis, and it is only lightly discussed before they agree mutually to move on from it.

Her team seems to be working a few fractured cases that begin to connect themselves to each other. It was nice to see Stacy stand up to Bryant and Dawson and want to be seen as an equal.

The book finally gains momentum as the team work together to free kidnap victims that are going to be subjected to horrendous circumstances.

Due to pet peeves Female officer going off and doing something stupid and the team being fragmented was factors in my lower rating to an otherwise stellar series.
