2.0

This is the most gruesome traumatic story I've ever read.
There was no need to retell the trauma 3x with increasing detail. My mental health did not need this. How this book has an over 4 star rating is shocking and disappointing. I'm giving this 2 stars because the writing is good, but the logic is faulty at worst and unlikely at best, and the traumatic repetition made me deeply dislike the book.

She’s had better books than this. Main characters were easy to sympathize with, but they were still hard to like. Too many layers of story going on at once, and the whole thing that kicked it off was so disgusting. Unfortunately, that first scene got revisited three more times, and it got worse each time.

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.

Not a typical Slaughter book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Although there were no big twists throughout, the beginning chapters are in typical Slaughter fashion - fast paced, brutal and gut wrenching. I had to put it down after the first chapter just to digest what had happened. 

This isn't a thriller novel, but i5mt does cover some pretty graphic stuff - make sure to check your trigger warnings before diving in.
