Wow. Just... Wow. What an incredible read this was! I have not read any of Karin Slaughter's previous work but if this was anything to go by I will certainly be picking up more of her books!
I read this in two days as it was simply un-put-downable. Slaughter is a brilliant craftswoman and the chapters draw you in and twist where you don't expect, even from Chapter 1.
We meet two sisters, Callie and Leigh, at polar opposites of life success following a traumatic upbringing and a violent event they experienced together. This moment in time is brought back to the fore by a chance meeting with a person from their past and it's a race against time and cunning to see who will survive.
Paedophilia, child porn, murder, rape, violence and drug abuse are prevalent themes in this gripping thriller so be warned! The handling of these topics is as delicate as it can be and setting it against the backdrop of the current covid pandemic makes for an engaging read. A very cleverly written thriller.
