Omggg i think this is my favourite of Grant County series, next to Blindsighted. I love this series for its small town vibes, great characters and the plot of each book. In the surface it has a cosy feel but when you see the dark waters beneath it all, it made my heart pound & tremble. The plot always feels simple & manageable but when you dive deep into it, it's just so complex and twisted. I love for such stories & Karin Slaughter delivers them to me in such a pace. The character growth & depth is truly amazing, i am so shook that I have no words.
