I didn't read "Pieces of Her" and didn't read a lot of Karin Slaughter's books so it's possible I missed some backstories.
I found this book gripping but also very slow at times. The dual time limes work and the book is well plotted but I was expecting to be hooked since the beginning and it took quite a long time before I was totally immersed.
It's a good thriller, gritty and twisty but i felt a bit disappointed.
The author is an excellent storyteller and this book is recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
