• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Karin Slaughter can write! Of course, her stories are also dark and disturbing, but once you start, you can't put it down.

Re-read 5/30/204 in preparation for the release of <i>That is Why We Lied</>: It's been long enough that I didn't remember all the details, and it was just as enjoyable the second time through.
