A review by stormlightreader
We are all guilty here by Karin Slaughter

I started reading Slaughter's Grant County series back in 2016 and finished it (or did it finish me?) in 2017. Following this, I immediately picked up the first Will Trent book and DNFed it, but I went back to that series in 2019 and now I love the series. This time, I started with a mix of excitement and hesitation, but I would like to get into another thriller series by a trusted author. 

The main character Emmy didn't grab me straight away and even by the end of the book I was still quite lukewarm about her. Honestly, no single character stood out to me in this book. The story starts off with lots of characters and lots of details about these characters. Slaughter definitely does try to nail down that small town vibe very early on, but I think this was done much better in the Grant County books, because it felt like an avalanche of information in this book. 

I struggle anyway with certain plots:

kidnappings, missing kids and narcotics and this story had all of these to varying degrees (albeit, the drugs aspect is pretty inconsequential)

. I am hoping the next book may be easier to get into and hopefully that one may hook me and get me invested in this series. 

Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
