Might be a case of just not for me, but I found this a brutal, cruel, and voyeuristic book.

I like Karin Slaughter's books a lot, and this is another great instalment in the Will Trent series. Slightly slower to start than some of the other books, but still an exciting read with plenty of twists and turns. It did start to feel slightly implausible towards the end, but the stakes are so high with Will and Sara's characters that it seems impossible to have them solve a crime that isn't a little bit unbelievable, and I definitely don't read this series for a completely realistic storyline.

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.
