The Butcher Legacy
The thrilling third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dr. Wren Muller series from Alaina Urquhart
Two months after the life-altering events of The Butcher Game, Wren is back in the place she knows best: the New Orleans morgue. She buries herself in routine, surrounded by both familiar and new company, John Leroux and Maya Rodriguez, trying to convince herself that normalcy can be rebuilt. But in the weeks leading up to Halloween, shadows begin to move again as young girls vanish in both cities where Jeremy Rose once ran rampant.
Hundreds of miles away, the pastor to a close-knit congregation in Massachusetts Philip Trudeau is back behind the pulpit. But beneath his practiced composure lies something sinister—gruesome secrets and a hunger that did not die when Jeremy was caged.
With Jeremy behind bars and Philip suddenly nowhere to be found, Wren and Leroux must mobilize, and this twisted triangle clashes at every turn. The Butcher Legacy is a relentless, page-turning descent into the dark.

The anticipation for this book, for me at least, was off the charts. I preordered it in January and the wait for it to come in August was killer. I do think it lived up to the hype for a series end cap.
I did very much enjoy this book. However the intensity was far less than to the first two, so it fell kind of flat in comparison.
I do enjoy that it went more in depth with a previous character you had a deep feeling you need to know more about.
It was a good ending (but maybe not?) to a series I loved reading.
