A woman runs alone in the woods. She convinces herself she has no reason to be afraid, but she’s wrong. A predator is stalking the women of Grant County. He lingers in the shadows, until the time is just right to snatch his victim.

He waits.

A decade later, the case has been closed. The killer is behind bars. But then another young woman is brutally attacked and left for dead, and the MO is identical.

He takes.

Although the original trail has gone cold – memories have faded, witnesses have disappeared – agent Will Trent and forensic pathologist Sara Linton must re-open the cold case. But the clock is ticking, and the killer is determined to find his perfect silent wife….

My Review:

Karin Slaughter is one of my favourite crime thriller writers and I always love a new book from her as I know it’s going to be a great read! This book was no exception and I knew from the first few pages that I would enjoy the book so I could just relax into the story.

Firstly I absolutely loved Will Trent who is very different from the detectives we normally encounter as he has learning difficulties. It was really interesting to see how he approached the case to overcome his difficulties. He was easy to warm to as his little quirks made him very loveable and I enjoyed following him on his investigation as I really wanted him to succeed.

The story is well told with flashback chapters showing some old characters which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed seeing Jeff again and it was interesting to see how Lena was as a new recruit. These are mixed in seamlessly with the present day chapters and helped the reader to get a clearer picture of what was going on.

Overall I really enjoyed this fast paced, gripping book which has to be one of my favourites in the series so far. There were lots of twists which kept me on my toes and always lots happening so the book was hard to put down. I raced through it in a couple of days which is no easy feat when you have three children. I can’t wait for her next one!

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper Collins for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
