Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.

More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.

The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.

Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, packed with indelible characters and unforgettable twists, Pretty Girls is a masterful novel from one of the finest writers working today.

Pretty Girls is a must!

Karin Slaughter by far is my favorite author! She never leaves me disappointed. You’re kept on your toes during the entire book! I only hate waiting between listens! Get the book! You won’t regret it!

Epic

Disclaimer: there are very detailed and gruesome aspects to the storyline at times. That aside, what a fantastic, grizzly thriller on every level.

Fantastic book

This story was fantastic. One of those that you don’t want to put down. The narration was great too. This is a must read.

Excellent characters and never a dull sentence! Hard to sleep until I finished!

Probably the best thrilled I have read. Loved the relationships of the sisters that are so different. The characters were well portrayed and the plot never lost steam. Very well written and developed.Sorry it ended and it was a long read!

Gripping! Jaw Dropping!

Slow start gives way to edge-of my seat, gripping tale with many literal jaw-droppings moments that made me gasp out loud. Karin Slaughter never disappoints.

Enthralling

This was awesome! Epic terrifying story!!! So well done - I couldn't stop listening! Loved this book! Best KS yet! Enjoy it!

Violence

Interesting characters plot twists that kept me reading all night. But the violence occurred too often and was too graphic

Sick graphic images can’t get out of my head

There were parts of this story that were engaging and suspenseful and good. But there was so much inexplicable weird sex torture, to the point that it really freaked me out. I mean it was like way over the top and always took me out of the story as I was just so uncomfortable and sick if I stayed engaged. The book suffered from the brutality, it was like reading about Hamas brutalizing victims. You don’t need to know every detail to feel the horror, and in fact knowing every detail is generally traumatizing. So I like Karin slaughter, but I’m concerned about this book

Frustratingly Good

Listen, the book is captivating, however, I cannot express how many times I screamed at this audiobook due to frustration. Claire disappointed me, to no end...but she came through towards the end. Unfortunately, the context of this book relates true and current events...prayers to anyone who can relate. May justice be found and prevail.

wow haven't rated anything 5 in a while

This book is amazing. Every time you think things are going to get better, something else happens and it all builds up. It's really good and held my interest the whole time!
