False Witness by Karin Slaughter
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.0
This was the third book by Karin Slaughter I've read. I would be lying if at this point the similarities between her books didn't seem comical. Now, this could be a total coincidence of course, but it is amusing nonetheless.
Two estranged sisters? Check. One sister is a lawyer? Check. The other sister is a hot mess? Check. A traumatic childhood event that both drives the sisters apart and binds them to each other? Check.
No surprises in this book, except for a gut punch realisation at the start. The writing is good, and if I am being fair, I've enjoyed Slaughter's writing style in all of her books. This book also avoided such graphic and gratuitous violence scenes so readily present in Good Girls. Well-paced.
