There is a lot going on in this book---too much!,
police brutality, activism, racism, rape, murder, mental health, LGBTQ rights----WOW---just too much!

By the middle of the book I felt it was falling apart, it took forever to get to the middle of the book with a lot of repeat repeat repeat and it doesn't really move the story along at a good pace.

I didn't really care for the main family, Laurie is a 9-1-1 dispatcher that used to be a cop and she is married to the chief of police so she gets special privileges? doubt it--then you have daughter JoJo that starts out as the main focus but yet she also can get into places within the police precient that off limits for anyone else? doubt it

When it took the turn into all the secrets of the police department I kind of lost a little interest and started skimming to move along at a faster pace to get to the main focus of the story---AGAIN--seems like I had to do that a lot

I think Herron can write a good book but yet in this one she just had too much WAY TOO MUCH going on.
