Publisher's Summary

There’s no police training stronger than a cop’s instinct. Faith Mitchell’s mother isn’t answering her phone. Her front door is open. There’s a bloodstain above the knob. Her infant daughter is hidden in a shed behind the house. All that the Georgia Bureau of Investigations taught Faith Mitchell goes out the window when she charges into her mother’s house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesn’t see is her mother....

“You know what we’re here for. Hand it over, and we’ll let her go.”

When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions and not enough answers. To find her mother, she’ll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and they’ll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isn’t just a cop anymore - she’s a witness. She’s also a suspect.

The thin blue line hides police corruption, bribery, even murder. Faith will have to go up against the people she respects the most in order to find her mother and bring the truth to light - or bury it forever.

Karin Slaughter’s most exhilarating novel yet is a thrilling journey through the heart and soul, where the personal and the criminal collide, and conflicted loyalties threaten to destroy reputations and ruin lives. It is the work of a master of the thriller at the top of her game, and a whirlwind of unrelenting suspense.

Weak Character

The mystery/story was good although quite complicated at times. Lots of gore for those that like it. There were certain main characters that I found to be not very believable or even likeable given their expertise - for example, I’m sure an argument btwn “backups” would not occur in the middle of a life threatening hostage situation- but I guess the story had to be told.

Author’s skill at character development

Love the characters. Especially Will and Sarah. Happy to see female characters in law enforcement. Love the voice actor.

Offensive

Slaughter has always been bad at race issues in her older/series books, but it's usually more low-key and ignorable than this. This book was just overtly racist. Also, she does this subtle eugenics move where she frames mixed people as unhinged and basically evil. All of this is especially whack, considering her recent stuff that pretends to be race critical. I'm super disappointed by this book.
