False Witness by Karin Slaughter

abobzean's review against another edition

4.0

Honestly this would’ve been a 5 star if Covid wasn’t mentioned 10 million times. I read and understood the note to the reader but it was definitely too much and at times took away from the story. Other than that Karin slayed another true crime thriller with sisterly love, I only picked this up because of how much I loved Pretty Girls and it did not disappoint!

This book legitimately made me sob. But in the way only Karen’s books can. I think the focus on sisterhood really emotionally drew me in. Her books are visceral and dark but SO GOOD.
