It was ok. It didn't really hold my attention for long so it took me a while to get through it. It was a decent story though.
When Karin Slaughter is good--she's very, very good.
And this novel finds her at the peak of her powers. If you're a long-time Slaughter reader, you'll know that one of her main characters--a cop named Jeffrey Tolliver--is no longer in the series. But Slaughter brings him back in this book, along with other characters who have made an appearance in her earlier books.
The plot alternates between present time and five years ago--and a case that seems not to have gone away, although the man arrested for the crime has been in prison for five years. Lena Adams makes an appearance, too. It's a great mix of police work and parallel stories. Top notch.

"The Silent Wife" by Karin Slaughter is a gripping thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The characters are deeply developed and complex, adding layers of intrigue to an already intense plot. The twists and turns are nothing short of mind-blowing, making each chapter a suspenseful ride. I couldn't put it down and consider it a must-read for any mystery lover. Slaughter's expert storytelling and knack for unexpected revelations ensure this novel stands out in the genre.
*PLEASE* let this be the last time we have to deal with the bordering-on-abusive relationship between Linton and Trent. The “He has to say it!” juxtaposed with the “She has to say it.” is junior high level relationship behavior.
And they don’t have to be the center of every plot line for the readers to care.
Leave the romance-adjacent elements out of the next book and just let them have a normal, decent relationship. We’ll still buy the books, but not have to check if we bought a Romance or a Thriller.

I'm always so sad when I finish one of Slaughter's books, mostly because the story is over. This book was no exception. Will and Sara have such an incredible arc.
This book had a couple good mysteries and some interesting characters. I think I would have liked it better if I read it, but I listened to it, and that accented the main flaw. It was too long. There were whole sections that were something like - He put his hand on the doorknob. He turned the knob. He opened the door. He walked across the room. He sat in his chair. He pulled open a drawer. - That's only a slight exaggeration. I got frustrated listening and just wanted the book to be over.

Too many characters and the plot lines were very confusing esp at the start and this is from someone who is an avid reader. The plot got interesting though eventually

Well started listening to this book and I just couldn’t stay engaged. Then I read it was book #10 in a series and that made complete sense! This book is an 18 hour audiobook which is just too long for my liking.
