Love you Slaughtermeister!!! @bostonbookfanatic are deep in Grant County now. Lena is a hot mess and a college campus is even messier! The murders continue to be gruesome and twists are even more insane.
Another brilliant addition to the Grant County Series!
Karin really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat; can't wait to see what's next for Sarah and Jeffery! And what will come of Lena?

I love Karin Slaughter. She always manages to throw plausible twists in throughout the story to keep you on your toes. Lena is such a dynamic supporting character; she really helps to make the book more robust.

Am Grant College sterben innerhalb kurzer Zeit drei Student:innen. Alle Tode sehen nach Suizid aus. Doch irgendwas stimmt nicht.
Ich hatte das Buch vor ca. 15 Jahren (wtf) gelesen und konnte mich an gar nichts mehr erinnern - nur daran, dass ich es super spannend fand. Dass es mich auch jetzt, mehr als ein Jahrzehnt später, genauso erwischt, hätte ich nicht erwartet. Karin Slaughter schafft das, was ich bei den aktuell erscheinenden Thrillern immer vergeblich suche: Durchgehende Spannung, einen Plottwist, den ich nicht erwarte, Charaktere mit Tiefgang und das alles ohne am Ende ein komplett unrealistisches Konstrukt aufzubauen, das kein Mensch mehr nachvollziehen kann.
TW: Das Buch beschreibt manche Szenen ziemlich explizit und verwendet leider auch das N-Wort. Würde mir wünschen, dass man auf Letzteres in einer aktualisierten Version verzichtet.
Als Hörbuch gehört.

Out of the Karin Slaughter novels I have read this is my least favorite. Don’t get me wrong it was enjoyable because of the characters I have come to know. These characters are well written and I enjoyed the next chapter in their fictional lives.
In this book a suspicious suicide occurs sending out the town Medical Examiner Sara Linton. She is called out while with her pregnant sister. This particular death might have remained a suicide if it wasn’t for the stabbing of Sara’s sister at the crime scene. This begins the police on a difficult search for the true meaning of the suicide. It wasn’t terrible but I found myself losing interest from time to time and zoning out. I listened to this in audio and I think if I would have actually read it I might have struggled to finish. The suspense that is in the other books I have read by her was missing. I even felt at the end that I didn’t care who the killer was. It was an interesting twist but I was not overly impressed with the reveal.
Every author from time to time has a novel not everyone will like. This was my least favorite but I didn’t hate it. I am glad I read it because it is part of the series, but I know if I ever decided to reread these novels I will skip the reread on this one.
