Despite all of that, there's still not a whole lot of substance, as is usual with an adult thriller novel. It's very much focused on the case itself instead of character development and emotional connections. That said, I'm cool with that. I knew what I was getting into with an adult thriller.
I'm not sure where Barton was going with the detective and his side plot. She seems to have tried to add emotion with his wife being terminally ill, but we barely see him or know him at all, so should we really care? It makes me wonder if Barton is planning bigger things for his character in future books in the series.
The mystery in this was absolutely tragic, and it had me hooked from the start. Barton always writes about such dark topics, and she always does a really good job with it.
I loved this book, and it's definitely my favourite in the series so far. I hope Barton keeps going with this series because I'm really getting into it! And as a side note, Kate's son is a complete brat and she should have left him in Thailand.
