Good opening book of a series. 
jaw dropping when they reveal that the neighbor

was only 15

I had to go back and re listen. 
Toward the end it felt like it got gratuitously bloody and gave me the ick.

The most graphic book I a read so far.

Didn't see any of the twist coming. The only thing I did know was that Karin Slaughter made you feel sympathetic for a convicted rapist and murder and you knew he didn't do it. But if he did then who did??

Will be carrying on with the Will Trent series because I am interested in where the characters is going.

Karin Slaughter can write! Of course, her stories are also dark and disturbing, but once you start, you can't put it down.

Re-read 5/30/204 in preparation for the release of <i>That is Why We Lied</>: It's been long enough that I didn't remember all the details, and it was just as enjoyable the second time through.
