This book starts out slow and picks up speed. I got about halfway through the book and couldn't put it down. The book does get graphic at times. I really enjoyed Jeffrey and Sara and their relationship. I had a hard time liking Lena. I would recommend it to someone who enjoys murder mysteries and thrillers.

Karin Slaughter's books are so, so dark and so, so easy to devour. Her stories are complex and layered while also being utterly page-turning. Stay up all night reading, in more ways than one.
