4.2 AVERAGE


Felt like the majority of the book walked through the process of police work - twist at the end was somewhat underwhelming
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Graphic treatment of the topic of rape...be forewarned. Slaughter writes about the topic with insight, but some parts are hard to read. Great Linton/Trent book. (Fyi, I don't like the Hulu series at all! The books are quite well-written.)

*****I received this free audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book was great! The story keep me listening and wanting to know more. The narrator was easy to listen to and added a great deal to the experience. I haven’t read the rest of the series and need to get started on that SOON! I have watched the series on ABC and really enjoyed it! I highly recommend this book!

Well written but a little too dark for my liking

It doesn’t feel right to give this book a rating.. the TW are drastic and disturbing. It was an ok story, but I wouldn’t recommend due to the dark nature. I don’t think I’ll be reading her books in the future

Wow! This was another amazing addition to the Will Trent series. Dani Cooper manages to get herself to the ER at Grady but dies from her brutal injuries after telling Dr Sara Linton that she was raped. Fast forward three years and Sara is trying her to best to get justice for Dani in a civil trial. During the course of the trial, Britt McAllister (the defendant's mother) hints that everything that is going on is connected to Sara's own sexual assault she experienced 15 years earlier. And it seems, they were not the only ones. This book was chilling, disturbing, evoked a range of emotions from me and highlighted the reality of sexual assault cases and the lack of convictions. I have been a long time reader of Karin Slaughter and I am so glad that the story of Sara Linton has finally been told.
If you have not read Karin Slaughter before, I urge you to do so....ASAP!
