🛍️ Loaned from HB.
This is my first Karin Slaughter book. I didn't really know what to expect, but knew that she is insanely popular and Will Trent recently came on ABC. Slaughter does something that many true crime writers try, but few are successful. Throughout the book, she allows countless threads to stray and yet in the final pages she still finds a way to wrap everything up neatly. It's very impressive.
