It’s hard to say that I enjoyed this thriller, not because it wasn’t a well-written book, but because reading about various forms of assault was heart-breaking! It definitely drew me in, especially when connections started being formed; the ending really threw me for a loop! I also personally liked that it was set in Atlanta and had a lot of medical content. 

For the most part I liked the narration, but some of the accents were strange. The descriptions of the crimes were also very graphic, sometimes too graphic in my opinion. Overall, this book was thought-provoking and good for those who want a  deep, psychological read! (This book is #11 in the Will Trent series, but it can be read as a standalone book.)

*I received a copy of this audio book from NetGalley*

As always, a compelling and fast read that makes me scared and disgusted by people!
I find the more books of hers I read, the more I don't really want to reread, unfortunately. I love the characters, but just loathsome things happen. And I read a lot of things where bad things happen to people! 

One thing I've been sad to discover is that I can't really listen to the audiobook versions of these books either - the cruelty is just too gross to listen to.

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!
