Karin never fails. This book had me on edge from start to finish.
3.5 stars. A bit slow moving but engaging story.
Have you read any of the author’s books? If you are a fan and into crime suspense genre, you will definitely like this one!
Sara Linton’s life seems perfect. She is a successful doctor, engage to be married to the man she loves and somehow escape her past. It was fifteen years ago when she was violently attacked after a celebratory night. Until the evening when a woman, Dani Cooper, was brought to her ER, badly beaten and attacked, died while she was saving her life. As the police investigates this tragic incident, it is no doubt that Dani’s assault is connected to Sara’s and this past is trying to come out and doesn’t going to stay buried forever.
The author can really write a good suspense thriller book. This is my 4th book of her and pretty much enjoyed her books. This is a tough and brutal read, the details might beard to stomach so proceed with caution. The author can write very unlikable characters and really fit into the narratives of her story. My only comment as I have with all her books that I’ve read is it’s too long. There chapters are long and there are way too many words that tends to drag your reading and get you bored. Though overall, it’s a good one but not for binge read.

I'm never sure if I should be grateful that I can still be surprised by how awful people can be or disappointed that I'm still shocked by the depths of degradation people will go to and the violence they will inflict on others.
I hadn’t read a Will Trent novel for a while, but I was able to follow this eleventh book in the series even having skipped several that came before it.
In After that Night, Dr. Sara Linton has moved on with her life after a brutal attack fifteen years earlier that tore her life and her plans to pieces. Now she’s about to get married to Will, and she’s doing well in her career. Until one shift, when she has a victim who reminds her so much of her own attack. The more she and Will learn, the more it’s clear that there is some connection between her and Dani.
This is definitely a page turner, and while many things are hard to believe, it’s still enjoyable in a very dark way. This novel went into less horrific detail of what happened to the victims than other Karin Slaughter novels.
NetGalley provided an advance copy of this book, which RELEASES AUGUST 22, 2023.

I need to stop giving the Will Trent series more chances than it deserves. The problem is the comparatively little space that Will Trent actually interacts. Also not a fan of gratuitous graphic language.
