This book focuses more on the crime at hand than bringing Skeeter’s past too much into the story. However, it felt very light. The characters, even Skeeter, were thin, with the focus being on the plot. There is enough going on to keep us from seeing the solution until Skeeter brings it to light. I do enjoy the humor, including the gentle digs at cozies. The books are short enough that I still find myself enjoying them, but the tradeoff is that there isn’t time to develop anything fully. If you are interested and can find these on sale, then snap them up.

This is a really easy-going laid-back story. There are bits where it is a bit fraught but it flows so well I was able to read through it all quite quickly without feeling I had got lost. It was a fun book fair enough, the case she deals with is not the nicest and could cause a trigger for some people as it involves rape and murder, but the subjects are both handled delicately and sensitively.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and loved the ending I don't want to say too much as I don't want to spoil it for others but I was happy with it.
A recommended read from me.

Sara is determined to get justice for a patient who dies in A&E on her shift. With her dying breath, Dani Cooper tells Sara she has been raped. Three years later, Sara is testifying as an expert witness at the trial of Tommy McAllister - the man accused of raping Dani, and the child of a couple who Sara knew from her residency days.
Will and his partner Faith, end up re-investigating Sara’s case, along with a number of others, finding links between them. All of this is done without their boss’s knowledge - which is very brave of them. She’s formidable!
There are graphic descriptions of rape, domestic violence and it’s aftermath, and can be quite stomach churning at times - but it’s such a fast-moving read with such excellent characters, that I didn’t want to put it down. It’s a really emotional read, too.
If you’re a fan of this series, you will not be disappointed!

Another great Women's Murder Club novel. This one had me on the edge of my seat from the very start. Many twists and I was unsure where it was going to take me. Having been with these characters for so many years, they become like friends that you don't want to see anything happen to I really felt an emotional connection to Lindsay in this book with the trust issues she had going on with her husband. I believe it's something we as women have questions about at least in the back of our mind. We want to trust our spouse's unconditionally, but sometimes that trust can be hard.
I can't wait to see what book 16 has in store for Lindsay.
