Wow! Not a read for the faint hearted this one!
My 1st Slaughter book and I very much enjoyed it ~ as much as you can with the content.
The percentage of writing which needs ‘trigger warnings’ is huge!
If you can overcome these, then the story is great. If someone you loved disappeared, would it be better to know what happened to them (no matter how disturbing) or would you rather live in ignorance? This is the crux of the tale. Because once you start tugging at the thread the whole thing slowly unravels!
