Karin Slaughter can write! Of course, her stories are also dark and disturbing, but once you start, you can't put it down.

Re-read 5/30/204 in preparation for the release of <i>That is Why We Lied</>: It's been long enough that I didn't remember all the details, and it was just as enjoyable the second time through.

My second Karen Slaughter book (Pretty Girls being my first) and I am just amazed by the way she is able to make me want to stop reading forever but also not want to put the book down. One thing I've learned is that nothing Slaughter puts on the page is filler- every detail comes back to hit you in the face. So excited to continue the Will Trent series.
