After That Night
by Karin Slaughter
Four plus.
Karin Slaughter's books are always dark, and this one is no exception. It takes us back to Dr. Sara Linton's rape, 15 years ago, and the link between that terrible crime and its inception. All readers of Slaughter's Grant County series know that Dr. Linton was raped, years ago, with the perpetrator identified and jailed, but the backstory of that crime hasn't been explored until now, when Sara treats another rape victim in the Emergency Room.
It's a carefully tailored plot, with lots of detail, and an array of loathsome newcomers to Sara's/Will's stories, but not hard to follow. All the familiar characters in Slaughter's pantheon around Grady Hospital make an appearance at some point, and there are reference to their upcoming wedding. Slaughter's long-time fans will appreciate hearing from Sara and Will, et. al., again. I did.
