Praise
“Raw, powerful, and utterly gripping.” Kathryn Stockett, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Slaughter’s most ambitious, most emotional, and best novel. So far, anyway.” James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Though this is a crime novel, suspenseful and thrilling in every way, at its heart it is an exploration of family and the ties that persist through the most difficult moments. As with Val McDermid, Denise Mina, and Tana French, Slaughter delves into our darkest selves to reveal what is truly human.” Library Journal
“Gripping…Slaughter keeps the twists coming.” Publishers Weekly
“This is a great writer at the peak of her powers. Karin Slaughter is at her nail-biting, heart-stopping, emotionally draining best.” Peter James, author of Love You Dead
