Jonathan Trott reviewed The Last Widow by Karin Slaughter
Excellent scarily topical book
5 stars
Loved how topical this book turned out to be, reading it in the current climate. Appreciated the lack of Sara and Will maybe breaking up dynamic.

Fantastic book in the series

Great to get the Will, Amanda, and Evelyn backstory. Good work having parallel cases 40 years apart. Lovely sting in the tail at the end of the book.

Excellent second book in the Will Trent series
5 stars
The second season of the show was based on this book so I had a good idea of where things were going. Didn’t impact the enjoyment of reading it though. Karen does a great job with characters and background so you end up feeling involved in the story.

Lovely first book in the Will Trent series

I read this due to how much I like the TV Show. Wasn’t disappointed. There are some differences of course but the bones are the same. Good characters, good plot twist, and good action sequences. Hopefully this quality keeps up for the rest of the series.

Hopefully the next book will finally see the end of M. This one was pretty good with some nice plot twists but I’d like to go back to just ordinary serial killers for the next book!
Jonathan Trott reviewed Cross Down by James Patterson
A nice mix up with a new author and a new viewpoint
5 stars
Loved the change of author and viewpoint. Small nitpick with the plot though, at one point characters are arguing about whether to institute martial law, seems like the continuity editor forgot about a previous Alex cross book that involved martial law being invoked…
