I wanted to like it more, but the Angie character was pretty insufferable & the fact that the killer was given away so early was disappointing.

Nothing like the show. Star rating for the craftiness of the author. Well-written, twisty, drawing you in. A lot of content that's activating for me so I ended up skipping a lot and eventually just to the end.

This book was amazingly written. That said, I really don't know how to feel about how Slaughter deals with race in this story. Sometimes it seems like she's trying to subvert certain stereotypes, but sometimes it feels like she might believe some of them.

I would give a lot of caveats before recommending this book to someone.
