4.5/5

Well, shit. As a series ending - this was good. I've read a number of reviews where people felt like the ending was abrupt, but I didn't feel that way at all.

In this installment of Detective Porter vs. 4MK (or really...vs everyone) our sanity is called into question. Is everything the way it seems? Is Detective Porter really a good guy? What ties all these murders together? 

You get answers, but some keep you hanging right until the very end. There was one *twist* that I guessed. There was such a focus on a particular part of what was happening in book 3 that it just made sense to me that it was a certain person, but the bigger picture still remained a mystery. 

One of the things I HATE in books/movies is when people are made to look 'crazy'. And/or when people have to fight to be believed, and that was a huge theme in this book. If I wasn't already invested in the series and characters due to the first 2 books being SO GOOD and also 100% confident that J.D. Barker would make everything make sense at the end of the book, I probably would have stopped reading - that is how much I dislike that whole trope. Alas, everything was set right and answered in the end and I'm so happy I had faith that it would, because this series was AMAZING.
