Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father; Pikeville's notorious defense attorney; devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night.

I found Karin Slaughter's new book to be a brilliant story that exceeded my expectations. The fascinating characters of Charlotte, Samantha and Rusty are wracked with pain and their family life is torn apart by tragedy. The powerful, disturbing scenes in the beginning of the novel are not for the faint of heart. Slaughter's excellent descriptions allow you to feel what the characters are feeling. It is a fast-paced read with lots of twists and turns. I have read every book that Karin Slaughter has wrote and I would have to say that this may be the best book she has written so far. Hopefully, she will turn it into a series as I would love to revisit these characters. I look forward, as usual, to the next book she writes and I would highly recommend her books to those who love psychological thrillers with lots of suspense.
