There was a lot about this book that made me stop and put it down at times. It was a lot. There is something about Slaughter's writing style that pulled me back in.

My first Karin Slaughter read. Gripping suspense novel starring GBI agent Will Trent. Heavy topics. See content warnings. Characters were enjoyable though not complex. Storyline was fast paced and gripping.
