"Liked the storyline here but not the execution. My least favorite Karin Slaughter novel. "

Joe H

"Both the book and the movie are fantastic. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Angelica Ashley

"I liked it, great book. There are a lot of characters, in my opinion, so it can be confusing. But I liked it in spite of that. I give it 7,5/10."

Sophie Leblond

"Was a really good book; I wish I'd known that her book girl forgotten was a sequel, though. Still dislike how long she makes each chapter. "

Megan Paradis

"Loved the dual stories/timelines. This was my first Karin Slaughter book. Amazingly written and great detail all the way through. Loved the story."

Kelsey Dierdorff

"I was intrigued by this story at the start, but the main character brought it down quite a bit. I nearly stopped listening to the audiobook she was so annoying. But the character growth for her was pretty amazing by the end. Honestly if they book didnt have the epilogue it would have been a little better but the epilogue both whittled the good away while also bringing a few things together. I'd give this book a 5.7/10 personally. "
