"This book was just okay. The concept of alternating POVs between cop and accused was handled in a unique way that I really liked, but it kind of felt like they didn't dig deep enough with the characters or get to the meat of the story until the very end. Also, Sergeant Brown really wasn't that likeable. And sometimes he and Kevin had the same voice, which was odd since there were two authors"
