After That Night by Karin Slaughter
4.0
I had to adjust my expectations going in. I thought this book was going to be about Jeffrey. It was not. Which is fine. I made some bad assumptions based on the description. That's on me. Once I did adjust, this was fantastic.
The writing is amazing. The characters are amazing. I devoured it so quickly. The story is fun and dark and twisted and it's definitely Karin Slaughter at her best.
In terms of what I didn't like, I wish there'd been more Will Trent. I love this series for Will. Sara is great and all, but this didn't feel like Will Trent book. I hope the next one in the series focuses a lot more on him. And then I had an issue with Sara's friend group. With everything we've learned about Sara from both this series and Grant County, I just didn't believe Sara was friends with this people. They were obviously gross and awful from the beginning. It didn't fit with her character. I don't care too much, but that was something I found myself questioning.
The only thing that was kind of odd in this book was the lack of Covid. Like I don't think everything has to be about Covid now or whatever, but this book felt so current. It felt like it was set this year. Only the lack of Covid gave it this almost alternate universe vibe. That's not a negative, just a little weird thing I noticed.
I dunno. Go read it. I love Karin Slaughter.
