Karin Slaughter is just the best. I don't know who I hate more, Lena or Angie, but Ms. Slaughter sure knows how to create horrible characters that I love to hate, and their backgrounds are so anchored in gritty reality that I can't help but feel for them at the same time. 
Will and Sarah's relationship is keeping me on my toes, the tension is crazy! And the other characters (Faith, Amanda) are also some of my favorite across all series. 
The plot of this one was amazing as well, as usual it wasn't shying away from the horrendous things that humans do to others.
