Very character driven. I wish there had been more about the actual trial.
There is lot of graphic violence.
Slaughter manages to make her sexual assault victims feel real. They are allowed to be strong without being weak, messy without being beyond hope. She makes them feel very real. A horrific experience humanized so those of us who are somewhat desensitized to it are reminded just how traumatic sexual assault and other violent acts are.
I loved the family dynamic in this book. It was flawed and complex and real.
