This book is pretty violent and descriptive of gory scenes, so if you’re sensitive to topics I don’t suggest reading.

I’m a sucker for a good true crime/cult vibe and this is the perfect mixture. The story is told between two perspectives, present day Andrea and her mother Laura in the wake of a horrific public shooting they found themselves in the middle of, and the story of Jane and a group of friends in the early 80s unwittingly recruited into a extremist activist group that spirals out of control in the wake of one of their members acting impulsively off-plan. The two stories slowly weave their way closer to each other and converge, with many twists and turns along the way.
As with every Karin Slaughter novel, the list of trigger warnings is EXTENSIVE so be mindful before picking it up.
Edited to add: I had no idea that the author was choosing to continue Andrea’s story in her upcoming novel, which I had already unknowingly ordered in my BOTM! Can’t wait to see how this story continues

I read the book in German because I'm taking part in a German readalong for the second book Girl, Forgotten of the series and I'm so excited!
I liked the two different timelines and enjoyed following Jane in the past and Andy in the present. The relationship between Nick and Jane made me feel very uncomfortable at times but I couldn't put the book down! With almost 600 pages I flew through it!
I found Andy very annoying in the series but didn't mind book-Andy. She was just trying to understand what's going on and let me tell you - it was a lot!
