Ooooh this one was so good! I was hooked from the start - make sure you set yourself up with heaps of time when you start this book, coz boy you’ll need it! I also loved the way the first few chapters worked where you were seeing things from different points of view - that was super cool and different. My only thing would be that it was a liiiittle bit too horrific/gruesome for me

Karin Slaughter writes... moderately violent whodunits set in and around Atlanta, Georgia.

In this book, a scientist for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) is kidnapped. Will Trent (A GBI investigator), and his girlfriend, Sara Linton (a medical expert), become accidentally involved, when they witness a car accident, and start investigating who kidnapped the scientist, and why they might want her.

Every so often, Slaughter's books use bad guys who are down right... unpleasant. If you're triggered by racist themes, you might not like this book, as what Trent and Linton discover... isn't very nice? For people who can overcome this, the book is a pretty easy read, that rattles along at a decent clip. It's not the most profound book in the world, and can feel a little... ripped from the headlines, but the author handles the storylines well.

I think most people will enjoy it.

There was a lot about this book that made me stop and put it down at times. It was a lot. There is something about Slaughter's writing style that pulled me back in.
