Synopsis (courtesy of GoodReads):
Sara Linton – resident medical examiner/pediatrician in Grant County, Georgia – has plenty of hardship to deal with, including defending herself in a heartbreaking malpractice suit. So when her husband, Police chief Jeffery Tolliver, learns that his friend and coworker detective Lena Adams has been arrested for murder and needs Sara’s help, she is not sure she can handle the pressure of it all. But soon Sara an Jeffery are sitting through evidence, peeling back the layers of a mystery that grows darker by the day – until an intricate web of betrayal and vengeance begins to unravel. And suddenly the lives of Sara, Lena, and Jeffery are hanging by the slenderest of threads.
My Thoughts:
I have a great love/hate relationship with this book. As usual, the novel was a gripping read – kept me on my toes and not wanting to put the book down until I had finished it. I read the greater majority of the book in a 4 hour time period.
The book was well written, as always, a great plot… and lots of twists and turns. Things that you’ve taken at face value since the inception of the series will be turned upside down leaving you feeling as much turmoil as the characters in the novel. Right up until the end – which is an absolutely heartbreaking end to the series. I seriously tossed the book into the backseat of the car I was riding in when I finished it and raspberried the book! LOL Yes, I was that annoyed by the end.
The characters that anyone who has read the series have come to know and love are shaken, and it won’t be until the very end that you’ll find the heartbreaking conclusion to the series.
I have to give this book the usual 5 stars because it truly is a wonderful novel. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and keeps you guessing.
My Rating: *****
