I will not I hate Covid discussions in books and this one was HEAVY on the Covid discussions. Personally, I don’t like discussions that ground me in a certain timeframe. But the author explained why she chose to do this and I understand it is her preference.

As I said, this book follows two sisters, Leigh and Callie, mostly in the present day (COVID included) but with brief flashbacks to a horrific event that occurred when they were teenagers. This "event" has come back to bite them about 25 years later and now they have to deal with the consequences. This is another book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, I did feel more connected to the characters in The Good Daughter than in this novel.

The only thing I didn't like was how much reference there was to COVID (and NOT because I'm a conspiracy theorist like Phil). I just didn't feel like those details (i.e. referencing masks being up or down, etc) really added anything and it almost got distracting -- we've all lived with it for 3 years so I would have enjoyed getting lost in a story world where it doesn't exist, y'know?
All in all, incredible read as usual from Slaughter!!!
