quite dark, doesn't shy away from violence against children, that's refreshing in today's world

didn't feel anything specific for the characters but I'll continue with the series, hoping the next investigation will be as dark as this one

I'm a huge fan of this genre books so when I got opportunity to read this one I jumped right into it. And I was not disappointed.

Firstly I loved the structure of this book. I mean, when I read a book a hope to find short chapters in it, because it makes me feel like I read the book faster. For me it is a huge plus.

Secondly the writing style gripped me from the beginning, in some ways it reminded me a little bit of Tess Gerritsen writing style. Let me explain what I mean. I'm not the one who gets easily grossed out or rarely feel uncomfortable by descriptions in the books. But both authors has something in their writing style and descriptions, that I feel goosebumps whilst reading descriptions of crime scenes in their books. And if I feel those feelings, then it's a sign for me that I found another gem. To be honest Sarah Flint will be my next auto-buy author.

Thirdly I was so glad that this book had so much diversity. There were few lgbtq+ characters and also people of color.

Another thing, that make my heart sing, was that in this book was no love romance. Don't get me wrong I like reading a book where main character has love interest, but usually it get's in a way with a main storyline. This book didn't need a love story to make it more interesting.

The only thing I wish was different was the ending of this book. In my opinion it was a little bit anticlimactic.

In conclusion, I have to say, that I enjoyed reading this book immensely and already recommend to everyone I know. I hope someday it will be translated in Lithuanian, because my mum would also love it.
