Slaughter writes a good thriller. The murders are brutal and the chase for the killer is twisty with several surprises as the tale unfolds. It takes while to get its footing, but that’s not surprising for the first book in a series. I’ll definitely pick up the next, but (and I know this is blasphemous) I may like the TV show better, at least for now. Pedophilia is one of my least favorite plots. I’m horrified and sickened by the crimes in this one.
