This is an excellent thriller, gritty and gripping but, ihmo, it's also the best in this series. It struck some chords as I worked with abused children long time ago and I felt for the victims.
There's a lot going on in this book, there's plenty of twists and it's a page turner that keeps turning pages as you discover what's going on and follow the clues.
Maggie's social skills are improving but I already loved her, her no-nonsense approach and the loyalty to her friends.
Excellent storytelling, good character and plot development, a solid mystery.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
