Another great Karin Slaughter book. This is the one everyone recommended and I can definitely see why. It was fun and twisty with great characters and a good mixture of past and present.

I will admit that I called the big plot twist from the beginning, which was a little disappointing to me. Maybe it came from reading several Slaughter books in one weekend and getting a solid feel for her story telling. I don't mind guessing the twists and turns at some point in the story, but when it was as early as it was here, it does take away a little from the overall book.

But it didn't take away too much. There was a lot to the story beyond just the twist, which is what I love to see in thrillers. Sure I guessed the twist, but seeing all the events play out was wonderful and suspenseful. I'm not usually big on flashbacks, but the different perspectives of the same events was fascinating to read.

I also really like books that take place after the trauma, and this hit on that so well. You get to see Charlie deal with what happened to her mother and sister, and what happened to her, how it affects her as an adult. I was riveted by this book.

I don't think it was my favorite of Slaughter's (I am partial to the Will Trent series), but this is definitely a top thriller for me. Definitely worth all the hype.
