After That Night by Karin Slaughter
4.0

It's finally here! This book was on my 23 in 23 TBR, so as soon as I got approved for it on NetGally, I dropped everything else I was currently reading and picked this up. 

The Silent Wife was going to be a very hard Will Trent book to top and I knew that going into this new book. And while this book didn't quite top TSW, it definitely had some standout moments and gave me an epic Sara Linton scene. Slaughter does such a great job of developing the stories and backstories of our main characters and that's no different here. While I feel Will definitely takes a backseat in this one, we get some more little details about his past but most of the development seems to be in Faith's life and Sara's backstory that is very much at the forefront. 

The book got off to a great start with Sara on the phone with her sister while supervising her junior colleague and then being presented with an intense emergency case. From there we are introduced to some of the worst characters and even though some of them were downright reprehensible they made for good reading. My absolute favourite moment came at the end and oh my god, that might be my favourite ever Sara Linton moment. I've followed her story for so many books, across Grant County and this series, and this moment left me gobsmacked! I loved it! Can't wait for the next Will Trent book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.
