"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4"

"Emily is a pregnant teenager whose life is violently taken. 40 years later Detective Andrea Oliver is assigned to reawaken Emily’s case in order to keep her father, whom is currently incarcerated, behind bars for good. As secrets are uncovered Andrea learns things are not always as they seem. I became obsessed with the justice I needed to happen in this book if you like a good cold case this is another superb read by Karin slaughter! "

"This was not one of my favorite Slaughter books but I still liked it better than most thrillers. It centered around a mystery of a pregnant teenager who was killed over 40 years ago. Suspects centered on her horrible clique of high school friends and a bad teacher. Slaughter is a great writer of characters and she did an apt job of describing traits that made all the suspects swarmy."

"Expertly goes between two time lines each with different narrators. What could a 40 year old unsolved murder, a federal judges death threats, and a cult have in common? I didn't realize this was the second in a series and never felt lost or confused. "

"Was a little slow to start, but definitely picked up and was such a cliffhanger ending. I hope there's a sequel I have so many unanswered questions "

"Great twist at the end. I did not see that coming at all. "

Millie Alvarez

"It was a little slow of a read for Karin Slaughter - usually she’s more fast paced. There was quite a bit of character building, but her writing enables you to imagine you’re there. Great read once you get to halfway through."
