dark

do you ever read a book that is just deeply not your thing, but you have to lead a book club about it for work, so you drag yourself through it kinda just waiting for a legit excuse to dislike it, and then you come across a predatory bisexual character and think "ok, this works as a focus for my frustrations"?
yeah

I read this after going through a couple of comparable mysteries by other authors. What I will say is that Karen Slaughters writing is so much more confident and experienced. I cried, I laughed, I rooted for our girls. I was glued. This was a WELL CRAFTED story.

This book will leave you sobbing. Slaughter’s storytelling and description of some of the darkest places, ideas, actions, etc. makes her a master.
