This was very brutal and graphic considering it was written over 20 years ago. I wasn't surprised since this is a Karin Slaughter book, but I hope now there's content warnings in the book for new readers. The story did have me hooked from the beginning and I finished it in one day. I was not expecting that plot twist!

I think this was her first published book. It was good, but the other ones I’ve read by her were so much better. Still, it’s good getting to know Will Trent’s doctor friend.
