very good read, highly recommend
Well done, author. A great book. I did get confused about the mentioned of Sara Barton. My remembrance is that Sara Barton died in jail by hanging herself. I really hated the author wrote Ella out the series. She would’ve made a great member of the Squad. I still think author was wrong for dividing them but I think Chance could be a tad bit racist when it comes to interracial relationships. Chance appears to be a good Christian who genuine cares about people of different race. He seems to recognize and acknowledge the injustice of race but I wonder if he could change it, would he. I believe Scott is more acceptable to interracial relationships than Chance. Ok, I had my culprit early in the story but I didn’t know the double-minded until the banquet. I knew there was a mastermind. I couldn’t figure out who. Why every time Chance takes Cate somewhere, he drops the ball and someone gets killed because he’s distracted.

McMillian has a remarkable way of describing our humanity. Creative murder mystery combined with heart breaking narratives forcing the reader to self reflect. For a local Georgia resident, the scenes are familiar but the stories always keep you guessing.
Also - George Newbern is the perfect narrator for the audible version of this series. Since book 3 I’ve looked forward to each new release for both the content and the performance.

This was my least favorite of The Atlanta Murder Squad books. I still like Chance and his team, but the new characters for this particular plot were uninteresting and not well written. The plot itself was boring and full of holes. I disliked the way at the end of the book Scott had to list all of the reasons that they messed up the case. That was a lazy way to wrap it up. The final fight scene was creative but also so unrealistic.

My favorite part of the book is the epilogue. Despite being a trigger subject, the story is good and true to the series I enjoy so much.

A little more preachy than the last books but was a good story. And I love the narrator of the audio book
