So good! The dual timeline was perfectly done and each chapter ended on a little cliffhanger that kept me turning pages. The character development and twists & turns made this book so solid! I really loved how strong and determined Laura was and how fiercely she protected Andy.
I'm not quite sure what this book was trying to achieve. Although I liked the writing and flew through the book, I just can't figure out what this was meant to be/do. Was it meant to be a mystery? Because the entire plot was so easy to guess, even 60 pages in. Was it meant to be a thriller? Because it wasn't that suspenseful/scary either. I'll definitely check out other Karin Slaughter books, but this one missed the mark for me. Not a bad read at all, but not a very good one either.
also, there was no need for using the f-slur multiple times throughout the book. thanks.

Gruesome imagery at some points that really helped pain a picture. Overall pretty ok, I was frustrated with Andy so much at times and I guessed the major twists. Ending was a let down

The plot was a bit intricate but unfolded nicely. The pace was not too fast but not too slow. I am not sure why this book gets mixed reviews. I loved it!

I usually don’t love long books, but I felt the length was totally justifiable. I loved getting both stories past and present simultaneously, and I felt connected to the storyline and the main characters. I loved guessing how the past and present would meet, and the epilogue pulled it all together. Didn’t love that the chapters were so long.
