- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

Yep, it's official, Karin Slaughter is now an auto-buy author for me. This is my second book from her, and I will now be going through the entire backlog of titles.
Technically, the second book in a series (I didn't read the first 😬🙈) it can be read and understood without reading the first. Though I would highly reccoment reading the first book to get a better understanding of the background and history.
This book blew me away. The storytelling is phenomenal. Not only is the writing amazing, but the story and the mystery are so well done that I was actually sad the book was over.
Two stories collide as US Marshal Andrea Oliver gets assigned to protect a judge who's been getting death threats while also obsessing over and trying to solve the murder of Emily Vaughn. There are parts you kind of assume, but how it all comes together is crazy. Like, I'm shooketh...
The characters are very well written and fleshed out. You get a good understanding of all the main players, and I have feelings towards all of them, not all good. The pacing is perfect too. There's always something to keep you wondering or thinking wtf.
I'll definitely be going back to read book one to get more of this story. 🤦🏻♀️
