I liked the story - solving a cold case and delving into the background of the victim and those around her. She has reservations, but decides to go. I think there was a story in here somewhere, between the long, repetitious, dramatic passages about John's PTSD and violent hatred of his father and Dana's ongoing and kind of boring struggle to reconcile the "Before Dana" with the "After Dana" while dealing with her recovery from a TBI at the hands of a serial killer. I love books that keep you guessing the whole way. However, survival is not that easy; Dana has suffered severe brain injuries, she has scars – both visible and unseen – and the killer has marked her forever. When she remembers that her best friend, Casey Grant, disappeared seven years ago right after their high school graduation, Dana delves into the mystery of what exactly happened to her.

Can she help David Lockman who has served 10 yrs already for a crime he says he did not commit? There are no discussion topics on this book yet. The fifth in the Kate Hanson series is an intriguing hybrid of forensic psychology and police procedure leavened with domestic detail and a soupcon of romance. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started this, but I am a big fan of Karin Slaughter’s and I had to read it.
