Summary

Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim...

A winner

As always slaughter does it again weaving the story to keep you rapt until the very end then leaving just enough to encourage your next read. The characters come alive and become actors in your mind as the story unfolds on a stage of your making. One of the best I kept my kindle constantly with me until the end. If you like her writing then it s not to be missed

Another great story

Really enjoying reliving these books now on audible. Still as good as I remember from reading them and this story starts of in a horrifying way and just keeps going right to the end. And thankfully the new narrator is so much better to listen to as well.

Another riveting book in the Grant County Series

Karen Slaughter delivers another gripping tale from Grant County. I’m really enjoying the development of the main characters as they tackle each complex investigation.

Deborah Hazlett does a much better job of the narration.

Not her best

Having read some of the Will Trent series I thought I would go back to the start to get more of a feel of some of the characters that popped up later on. I don’t think this book or the Grant County series in general are Karin Slaughter’s best work but still listenable. I find it a bit cheesy that the main characters are all wrapped up in the case that’s being investigated and perhaps that’s one of the reasons the GC series ended. I will persevere with the rest of the series before continuing where I left off with the Will Trent ones but I don’t think this is her strongest writing.
The narrator for this book was fine though!
