I read this after going through a couple of comparable mysteries by other authors. What I will say is that Karen Slaughters writing is so much more confident and experienced. I cried, I laughed, I rooted for our girls. I was glued. This was a WELL CRAFTED story.

My least favourite of Karins books - too much screen time for Andrew he is a freak
Ending was not as satisfying either, did his victims get closure?
Wish Leigh wasn’t so jumpy n timid, she’s supposed to be a lawyer ffs

As always with Slaughter's books, please check TWs before reading - Slaughter never pulls any punches in her books, and this was no exception.

I think I might officially be a Karin Slaughter fan - at this point I'd read anything from her. This was probably one of my new favourites - it twisted and turned and kept me guessing, while still staying n the realm of possible. I love how Slaughter writes sisters - Leigh and Calli were great characters, and I just loved their relationship.

Slaughter's works are definitely dark and violent, but it rarely feels gratuitous (although it sometimes veers in that direction), and I think that's a huge part of her style and why she stands out among so many thriller writers.
