God I love this book!
I loved this book and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would have! I love Will Trent, I love Sara Linton and Faith and even Amanda. I absolutely love everything I have ever read by Karin Slaughter and every time there is a new book in the series I go back and at least re-read the last 2 or 3 depending on how long it’s been between them and they never get old. I like all that she has written, and there are some doozies, but the Will Trent series is my favorite of all time and of all my favorite books or series. Wish there were more!

Whyyyyyyy do I keep doing this to myself? First time I’ve read two of this series in order though so that’s a plus, not like it made that much of a difference. I’m hoping we’re good with the Sarah storyline by now, though, because I just do not like how this character is written. I understand her plight is incredibly traumatic and that Slaughter has teased enough of “what happened? We don’t talk about it”, so it only makes sense to get the backstory eventually. But, as usual, totally fucked up and definitely a thriller.

I have been putting this book off for months. I wasn’t emotionally ready. I always love her books and the characters. Sara is probably one of my favs. It was intense and disgusting in the sense that men do these things.
After That Night by Karin Slaughter is a powerful, disturbing, complex tale that will resonate with women everywhere.
I had not read any of Slaughter's work before, and I imagine this one will hit all of the established fans in the gut. Despite being the 11th book in the series, After That Night stands superbly on it's own, not once leaving the new reader thinking they've missed something that has bearing on this particular thriller.
Slaughter doesn't shy away from difficult issues; he said/she said, sexual assault, rich white male privilege, and white privilege in general, all make up a subject matter that makes the book both fascinating and uncomfortable to read. The depth of evil in the story is almost mind boggling, and the ending leaves you feeling shocked and a bit despairing of any justice ever being achieved for women.
Beyond the fact that this is a page-turner of a thriller, it is also an important look into how women all over the world endure, to become either enablers or survivors.
I'm so glad to have received an ARC of #AfterThatNight from #NetGalley .
