3.5

3.5 stars - The violence against women and girls felt gratuitous at times, just over the top in its severity. The bad guy displays trope-y psychopathic traits. In general, there were a lot of over done tropes that annoyed me. At the same time, I found this book engaging and hard to put down. Glad I tried a Karin Slaughter book but I'm pretty sure this will be my last.
