Another late night staying up to finish a Karin Slaughter novel. Will Trent and Sara Linton are back at it, with this case landing a little too close to home. It opens with Sara testifying in a rape/murder case against a college boy whose family she knows from her own university days. After a shocking revelation, Sara must revisit the ghosts (and demons) of her past and what led to her becoming a medical examiner rather than the surgeon she had dreamed of being. They are thrust into a world of wealth and privilege and depravity - where money solves all problems and makes people disappear. 

Another page turner by Slaughter - can’t wait to meet her in person in Tulsa and have her sign a copy for my library!

I always think Karin Slaughter will never write a book as good as her last, and I’m always wrong. And I loved the Easter eggs that related to the show. So sad I finished it so quickly!

Mind-blowlingly fantastic. The creepy in this one was so real I could feel it in my bones. The plot was brilliant- albeit twisted- but that’s what we love about Slaughter, right? Slaughter is such a consistently terrific author. She simply does not drop a stitch. The perfect combination of police procedural and thriller. Wow. There just aren’t enough adjectives so I will end by saying most highly recommend.
