 This one took me a little longer to get into than the author's other books, but in the end I couldn't put it down. Lots of twists that I didn't see coming, and one big one that I did. The interweaving of a present mystery with a past mystery was very well done. Lots of trigger warnings and lots of violence and language, but if you're a Karin Slaughter fan, you know that's what's coming. If you're not already a fan, start with the Will Trent series (it's Slaughter's best work), or with Pieces of Her, neither of which are very like the TV shows they inspired. (The books are infinitely better!)

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not my typical genre, I often shy away from crime/mystery novels as I don’t always enjoy the writing enough, but this definitely surprised me! I listened to the audiobook rather than reading a physical copy, and I think that it was read in a very captivating way as well. I was struggling a little to follow what was happening in the beginning, with a flashback scene opening the book, and then jumping 28 years later, but I was quite quickly immersed in the story. Many layers of complexity throughout. The development of the characters throughout the story was fantastic, and the slowly unfurling mystery definitely surprised me at times. I was sucker punched by the adjacent plot about three quarters of the way through, absolutely gut wrenching and took me by surprise! There’s lots to unpack here, and I might come back and write something a bit more cohesive about my thoughts. Overall very very enjoyable, even for non-mystery/ crime readers like me. Please check CW and TW, there’s quite a bit here that many may find upsetting.
