This book (and series) is NOT for the faint at heart. What happens within this story is truly disgusting.

I love our two protagonists. Faith Mitchell has personal stuff going on...and it is now bleeding into her work life. She's trying to find that life balance, but in the middle of the investigation...it is NOT easy.

Will Trent continues to have his issues with his dyslexia, and he's NOT inclined to ask for help (his issue with giving up control in his life), but this set of murders has truly rattled him. 

The story was VERY hard to read at times. We see how intimately it touches and changes our two protagoinists...and the many others that become involved with this story. Ugh.

Also, the police do NOT come out smelling like roses. Corruptions and incompetence is rife within the police...and it frustrates the GBI and others.

Loved this story. Cannot wait to pick up Broken.

Another trilling read by Karin Slaughter. Her books are nasty and gripping, building up tension and leading you to the resolution of the mystery. Though that means the end is never very surprising, the stories are well set up. Hoping
SpoilerWill and Sara will find their way to each other. It's time for Angie to go, really hate her guts!
