I thought this series couldn’t do more. Great character arcs and crime puzzler. Running for the next book. Always enjoy cameos from the Hoon siblings.

Maybe take a look the mirror. Yes a book can be fiction, entertaining and tell some very personal truths.
Good tension. No big twists. But. A few turns the reader may not see coming.
Entertaining.

Appreciation
Reviewed: 11-28-24
I’ve always marveled at Ward’s skill in plot and character arcs, her inventive adversaries we love to hate for the BDB, and her ability to make us want to know what happens next.
Spoiler
I really liked the resolution for a human mate. And if you haven’t been waiting for-EVER for Lassiter’s book binge the fallen angel series (I hope we get to see more of that cast soon) it’s way under rated in Ward’s World.

Reviewed: 08-30-24
We always enjoy revisiting the original cast of characters. No big surprises. No real courtroom drama, or twists we know everything before it happens. No real story surprises as the author telegraphed everything before the reveals.
Engaging dialogue scenes are buried under lengthy narrative passages. Not a choice I remember from earlier work.
Most unbelievable element is Sheriff Walls and the community obliviousness to the DV.
A hero is only as good as his opponent and even the often flable justice system isn’t so bad. The moral flexibility of the entire cast allows for much massaging of the system to tie up most loose ends.
The harsh reality of juveniles tried as adults makes the reader question laws enforced without context or nuisance. While not as fulfilling as the Haley verdict in A Time To kill, the case portrayed gives hope and satisfies the need for consequences.
Grisham’s best is still the Painted Hoise.

Plenty of suspects!
Lots of emotional baggage.
Bring a map if you haven’t been to Skye! The island(s) are as much a character as the people.
Great setup for the series.
As always Angus King is wonderfully nuisanced, giving each character a unique voice even if they aren’t a fully fleshed out main charcter.

If you’re a woman and Jack Logan has any affection for you….,you’re gonna get snatched.
Nicely wrapped loose threads, but not Kirk’s best surprise twist. Still very satisfying.
Great character/detective growth for Tyler!
Be sure to read the Logan and Hoon Series in order. Wild ride!

Best JD Kirk book so far. As an author I listen with awe and envy over Kirk’s skill with dialogue and action alike. Bob Hoons insults are on par with the best of Shakespeare’s shade.
Angus King is brilliant. Perfection.
