One of the most challenging books I have ever read. Be sure to read the trigger/content warnings before going into it as the content is incredibly graphic. Karin Slaughter is definitely one of my favorite writers and her ability to pull together this story ... It was heavy, descriptive to the point where you could visualize each aspect and feel like you were there in the moment - it was unnerving. I honestly don't know how I finished this one and will need to follow through with a lighter read.
