Helpful Score: 3
I received this ARC courtesy of Dead Good Books via Goodreads. Thank you so much! It pains me to think that I might have missed out on what is probably going to be the best book I read this year. There is so much I would like to say about this book, but I'm afraid it would take reams of paper to do so.
Try to imagine ... you've been married 18 years and you've just buried your husband after he was killed in a robbery. Now imagine that you find things that you never knew of .. tapes showing women being tied up, tortured, raped, murdered. And then you discover numerous files on women all across the country .. all rape victims at one time or another. And then you're told he embezzled millions of dollars from his company. So who exactly is this human monster you've shared your life with?
Who do you trust with this information? Where do you turn?
The book follows a father whose daughter disappeared many, many years ago and was never found. He spends his life journaling about his search for her. There are also two sisters affected by this disappearance. There are secrets between them and a lot of forgiving to be done.
The book is absolutely brilliant! I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I've followed Karin Slaughter for many years, starting with her Jeffrey and Sara books. This is a stand-alone book.. something entirely different for her ... and she did an awesome job of roping me in. I had moments of holding my breath .... even a tear here and there. It takes a very special author to wring those emotions out of me. The book is so well-written and the characters so believable.
I highly recommend this book!
