I did not find this as good as KS’s other series, Will Trent or Grant County. I found the first part of the book quite poorly written and not at all gripping; it contained far too much seriously superfluous detail and its pace was somehow slow. . As it was KS I did persevere and indeed the pace picked up and the plot took its many turns. I did work out one of the main perpetrators fairly quickly but not all the family complexities.In my opinion, KS’s work tends to be very plot driven and I think this often masks the less than fluent writing. It is very didactic rather than letting the writing reveal character and I sometimes feel that I am being told how to view one of her protagonists instead of developing my own opinion. Having said that, the plots are usually good enough to grab and retain interest; I just wish this had got off the ground sooner. Had I not read KS’s other series, I doubt I would have got past the first section.
I really enjoyed this new character Emmy Lou and her sister Jude.I really hope you write another book with these characters. Such a great novel.
What a great read it a very tough and covered some very difficult story lines but wonderfully written by the author
Karin Slaughter writes with an insight and pace that is rare and this book is no exception. I won’t spoil the plot for you by giving a synopsis-you can read the publishers blurb on your own. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in your choice to read this book. I know I’m a bit biased because KS is my favourite author since I read Blindsighted over 20 years ago. I didn’t think I could love any of her books more than her Grant County series, but then came Will Trent and now the Clifton’s. I really hope this becomes a series.
Karin at her best!25 books in 25 years and they never disappoint!I have not been able to get this book out of my head! Which has dimmed and overshadowed anything else that I’m reading at the moment.With its rich characters, twists and turns, and that ending?! Totally didn’t see that coming!I’m already looking forward to what Karin is going to release next.
