I thoroughly enjoyed this book for the most part. It kicks off with a highly anticipated wedding, but quickly delves into crimes that Lindsay must use her expertise to solve. The first case involves a young girl who has given birth, but the baby is missing. The second case features women waking up in a fog after being raped. And to top it off, Yuki is in the midst of a trial for the murder of her husband, which starts to unravel before her eyes.
This book really delves into some chilling elements and the crimes are truly heinous. It skillfully weaves a tale of uncovering the truth, determining the greater crime, and the risks one is willing to take to achieve justice.
Overall, this installment is one of the standout books in the series. I appreciated how all the characters contributed to the narrative. Here’s hoping this level of quality becomes the new norm for the series. Cheers to more thrilling reads ahead!
