After That Night by Karin Slaughter
4.0
This was a tough read/listen. In fact, after finishing it several days ago, I'm still not sure what to say about it. This book felt akin to taking the monster out of your closet and taking the time to examine its teeth and claws as it guts you. It pulls that monster into the light and vanquishes the shadows that offered some modicum of protection.
This isn't my first Will Trent book, but I haven't read all of them and certainly not in order. So, it can be read as a standalone.
I would say that this isn't a pulse-pounding thriller in the typical sense, but more a police procedural. The pull has to do with seeing how everything unfolds. I spent the majority of the book with my stomach in my throat but luckily Slaughter's wit helps to break up some of that.
Be sure to read the trigger warnings for this, including: stalking, abuse, rape (off page), misogyny. I know some of my own triggers were pulled with this one, so be aware going in and take your time with it if you need to.
