FIRST FIVE STAR READ OF THE YEAR and i think this might be my favorite read from thriller/mystery genre, the fucking writing style, the characters, the relationship between the sisters and the dad omfg i have wayyy to many emotions to write a full review so this is mostly rambling, this my first book by karin slaughter and she didn’t disappoint, her writing make it seem like they are real, real human beings experiencing this tragedy, i honestly might go cry after finishing this review

Very character driven. I wish there had been more about the actual trial.

There is lot of graphic violence.

Slaughter manages to make her sexual assault victims feel real. They are allowed to be strong without being weak,  messy without being beyond hope.  She makes them feel very real. A horrific experience humanized so those of us who are somewhat desensitized to it are reminded just how traumatic sexual assault and other violent acts are. 

I loved the family dynamic in this book. It was flawed and complex and real.
