4.5

There's a degree of racial stereotyping & slut shaming in crime books from the early 2000s & earlier that makes me uncomfortable and keeps them, pretty consistently, from being 5 stars.

However, Karin Slaughter is so good & I love the consistent twists & turns throughout this book rather than holding out for one huge reveal at the end. Really compelling & unputdownable with a pretty satisfying conclusion. 

Super gruesome, so please be mindful of trigger warnings.

absolutely loved this book. the characters were charming (except the scumbag) and the mystery and thriller aspect was written well, and the end was revealed in a way that was very exciting. maybe it's just because i've never read a thriller before but i absolutely loved this
