My first Karin Slaughter book and I really enjoyed it even though the topics are tough! I also guessed the two big twists a mile away, but still enjoyed the journey of confirming my suspicions

Owe the twist and turns in this book. But it is very triggering. Need a disclaimer on this book. Because the abuse in this book pisses me off. Along with the sex crimes.

The story was well written and a fun listen. I did dislike the reuse of scenes (to add on when remembering things) as it felt like lazy writing. Made me think I accidentally rewinded when I didn't.
