the first 300 pages took forever to get through, i never wanted to pick this book up. i started reading it at the end of december and only now finished it. I am giving it a 3 star for now because the last 200 pages were very satisfying and i liked the ending. I wish the pacing was a little more even and i was able to enjoy the beginning as much as the end.

Quite frankly I don’t understand why this book is always considered better than the good daughter by the same author. They both require heavy trigger warning but this one’s are over the roof. Also the subtle racism and disregard for some peoples religion was a bit much for me and uncalled for. And even if they were meant to represent how the character is, it added nothing to the story or development of the character so I don’t see the point of them. This book is okay at best. And if you sit down and take away the shock factor that is the violence then you really don’t have that much of a plot let alone a book. Karin slaughter simply has better work than this one.
