Karin Slaughter hits it out of the park yet again. the grief in this book is so visceral it hurts and is relatable. I found myself having to pause to cry and gather myself and then go back in.

I did this on audiobook but I'm pretty certain if I see it at my book store I'm buying it so I can read it again.

Not a typical Slaughter book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Although there were no big twists throughout, the beginning chapters are in typical Slaughter fashion - fast paced, brutal and gut wrenching. I had to put it down after the first chapter just to digest what had happened. 

This isn't a thriller novel, but i5mt does cover some pretty graphic stuff - make sure to check your trigger warnings before diving in.
