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

Karin Slaughter never disappoints with her books. This was another one I read in one night because I just had to know the truth. I love a book that keeps me guessing and on my toes and Slaughter is a master at that. I love Will & Sara so much and I hope we see them for many more books to come. I also hope we continue getting glimpses into Faith's life because even with all the murder and mayhem she deserves her happy ending also.
