I wish the resolution was more. It was so much build up and then not a lot of what happens after. Amazing book though and I’m definitely going to read more of her books.

This reminded me a lot of the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths. Great mystery story with well developed characters and little to no romance. So if you’re looking to just focus on the process and investigation, this would be a great book for you! Although this is book number 11 in the Will Trent series, it was my first. I wasn’t confused nor felt like I was missing anything. I do want to go back and read the others just for more context on who the characters are. I saw this is a show on ABC and am very curious to check it out! Heads up, some scenes are graphic and difficult to read.

⚠️ CW: drug abuse, rape, infertility, stalking, suicide, misogyny, homophobia, domestic abuse, torture ⚠️ This book was such a dark and emotional rollercoaster but I couldn't stop reading it! Sara doesn't think about that night, about the attack and the man who did it, and the way it tore her world apart. She thought that night was over. Until a new victim appears and now a young woman's life depends on Sara uncovering exactly what happened after that night. This was my first Karin Slaughter read and it definitely won't be my last. As you can tell from the list of CW's this was a very dark and difficult read but it was written so impeccably. One minute I was crying and the next I felt like my heart stopped with the suspense and anticipation. The way Karin Slaughter so perfectly portrayed the life long impacts of rape/assault, especially psychologically, was done so well. I absolutely loved this book and the only reason I dropped it down a star is because the chapters are quite long and a few times I felt like I needed a break mid chapter after reading certain chapter's contents and I'm not a fan of putting a book down mid chapter. Overall, I think this book was incredible and I highly recommend it. It will easily be in my top 10 at the end of the year!
