*5 Stars*
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've been reading Karin Slaughter and Grant County/Will Trent books for many many years now, and it was great to dive back into this - it's been a while since I read the previous book. Something about this one truly captured me. Whilst it jumps back and forth between the past and present because of the history of the case, for once it didn't really bother me that a book did that. Except for when it left me on a cliffhanger haha.
I don't know if its the truly horrific nature of the crimes in this one, but something just captured me and compelled me to continue reading and find out who the culprit really was. Slaughter has written this book extremely well and I could not put it down.
When we found out the truth I was thrown - I had not worked this one out. There was so much going on, but Slaughter weaves it all together so well, and the horrifying events and emotions that so many of the characters deal with really got me.
I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. Highly recommend.
