Great book. Love all her books!

The narration was masterful!

This was a brutal story. Not for the weak stomach. Graphic and horrific. Terrible violence against women.

That said, it was a compelling and intriguing mystery, and I think Karin Slaughter is a very skilled writer. I will read/listen to more; hope the others are not so graphically violent.

Loved seeing Jeffrey again!! I love that Sarah loves Will so differently but it’s still evident that she loved Jeffrey. Also love that Lena was given a bit of love…. Just a bit lol

Brilliant new installment of the will Trent series! Excellent twist did not see who the killer was until the shocker at the end!

Can I give this book 4.5 stars?
