Critic reviews

‘As sharp and absorbing as ever’ Guardian

‘Slaughter’s novel is both a page-turner and a protest about how often sexual violence is overlooked’ Sunday Times

‘Tightly written, gritty and wonderfully gripping’ Woman’s Own

‘Gritty and taut, it’s an expertly crafted novel’ Woman’s Weekly

‘Another violent cat-and-mouse game in Slaughter’s dependable, long-running series’ Sun

Enjoyable but not her best

As a top fan of KS I can’t definitely tell you this isn’t her best work, I liked it and enjoyed it but her other stories have better twists, and at times I found it could of been edited. Was a bit long. Still love Karin though!

Horribly, annoyingly narrated!!

Once again Ms. Bouvard has done a great job spoilling the fun out of Karin's book. The way she squeaks her voice trying to make different sound of characters is so annoying I wanted so return the book. I haven't been to Atlanta, but if everone there speaks the way the narrater sounds, it would be quite a scary town to live in. Karin, if you have any say in choosing the narrater, please choose someone else next time for the sake of your book and your fans.

lot of tension

intresting story if only L.Bouvard would stop speaking in different voices. almost unbearable to listen

very annoying narrator

The narrator is so annoying. Why does Jared sound like a 5-year-old? And Lena. NOBODY talks like that, unless they are braindamaged.
I gave up listening and bought the book.

Another great KS

I really like Karin Slaughter and this story did not disappoint. I enjoyed that we got into Sarah's past this time, but Faith is still my favourite character. The only distraction was the relationship between Will and Sarah, it is getting a bit ridiculous and off-putting now.
