Well written with characters I liked. But man oh man was it a hard book to get through. What these characters went through is just awful and really challenging to read about, especially since the writing was so good. Almost too good, I felt I lived through the traumatic events. Some of the worst scenes are revisited/relived multiple times, I almost couldn't take it anymore. Really compelling characters though, which kept me going. Will be looking at more books by this author but not sure I can recommend this particular one given the traumatic plot.

Karin Slaughter is a sacred name in my household. Always excellent, gripping, horrific, human storytelling. This had me laughing, crying, and trying not to vomit from the gorier details all in one day.
