5 STARS for the audiobook. In reality, I listened to the much of the book and also read on my own. (I listen at work and read at home). The narrator, Nicola Victoria Vincent is excellent as always. She has narrated all but Hunter's Snowbound and a couple of Jenny Frame's books.

I really liked this book. I love Sanne & Meg. They have been BFFs since they were kids, then friends with benefits and here they are finally a true couple. What a great romantic arc Hunter wrote in this trilogy. I love San 5 STARS for the audiobook. In reality, I listened to the much of the book and also read on my own.

I really liked this book. I love Sanne & Meg. They have been BFFs since they were kids, then friends with benefits and here they are finally a true couple. What a great romantic arc Hunter wrote in this trilogy. I love Sanne's co-workers, her partner Nelson and her boss Eleanor Stanhope. I thought adding Eleanor's POV was brilliant. It added so much to see the pressures she was under to get this case solved. I would love to read a book centered on her. Somewhere (in this book or previous ones) it is hinted or maybe even stated that Sanne is very much like how Eleanor was at her age. Though can you imagine Sanne primping and checking her appearance in the elevator before starting her work day? I loved that scene. She was putting on her armor.

So why did it take me so long to read it? Why did I struggle to finish it? It not that it wasn't well written. Which it is. It was the case they were trying to solve. It is very disturbing. I've read a number thrillers and mysteries but this one really pushed my buttons. Its probably because Hunter is such a good writer that made it more real. I really felt for the victims. So I had to stop and start. Near the end I stopped and I didn't pick it up again for a week. It was a wrong decision. I should have kept going. I read the rest of the book in one sitting. I am not a person who will finish all books I start. If I'm not liking it or if I'm struggling to read it. I'll drop it like a hot potato. So really, its a testament to how just how good this book is that I continued on.

I highly recommend this book, actually all of Cari Hunter's books. Her next book isn't a Sanne Jensen book. I do hope she will return some day. But I look forward to any new book by Cari Hunter. ...more

I am hooked and it feels so very good. The plot involving police procedural and medicine is interesting by itself. Add two very likeable main characters that fight for what is right and for each other. Well, in my opinion, you have intrigue, mystery and a winner. Although the crimes are horrific and there is quite a bit of pain, Sanne Jensen and Meg Fielding are so very resilient. Continue to like Sanne's partner, Nelson Turay. The writing is solid and makes you not only feel but care about what ...more

Whew, waiting for my heartbeat to return to normal.

Really good thriller and police procedural. I love the utter northerness of this series.

I like how this series does not fall into the will they/won't they trap many crime series fall into in regard to the main character and I greatly enjoy reading about Sanne and Meg's quiet domesticity that sharply contrasts with both their childhoods and what they encounter in their respective workplaces.

I have wee complaints in that the violence here in this ...more

like so many good series of books I found myself invested in both Sanne and Meg's lives. I've enjoyed the development of these two characters as well as the supporting ones. I'll admit that at one point I had to put the book down because I wasn't ready for the potential outcome. A few days later I was back and couldn't put it down until I was finished.

Really well written and engaging, despite the difficult crime material. I'd recommend the entire series. Oh and some of my favorite parts is that ...more

The case was interesting and engaging. We're given a nice view of the EDSOP team in action along with being able to witness Sanne and Meg's relationship grow. I particularly enjoyed the bits dealing with Sanne's family.

A very good continuation of the series. ...more
