This was a good one. Karin Slaughter did a beautiful job adding in fiction with this could actually be something that happens in real life. Imagine you have been married to a man for 18 years, and then suddenly he is murdered one night when you guys were being spontaneous. As you are grieving and find things out about your husband but it continues to get worse. This book broke my heart the letters from the father was a nice touch. They finally were able to make amends with each other and rebuild their lives. The only drawbacks were it took a while for the set up and the long chapters were annoying. But overall beautifully written now a Karin Slaughter fan.

This book had me jumping at the plot twists. Had me shaking in my boots at some points. The dad’s chapters did have me crying in the end I can’t lie

A lot of reviews said this book was very graphic and hard to read. Won’t lie..it kind of was so definitely check trigger warnings.

For me, I didn’t have much issue listening to this book. I think ONE part made me gag, but that was about it.

Karin Slaughter really does a great job writing thrillers. Was this my favorite by her? Nope. This one did feel longer than needed. I feel like I didn’t have all my questions answered and that might be on purpose.

Also the characters weren’t likable at all. Only Lydia, Rick, and Dee were likable. I feel like Slaughter does that a lot with her writing. She has siblings and one is just so unlikeable but still the hero.

THE END OF THIS BOOK>>> It was so disturbing but so good! I loved the writting style by the second half it was so so good i couldnt put it down when i got there
edit: 4.5/5
