Book Description
More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia's teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss--a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.
The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.
My Review
I found this book to be very powerful and gritty. It is intense and hard to put down and the subject matter is most disturbing. Karin Slaughter is such a good writer that you can feel the horror and pain right along with the characters. It is full of twists and turns and the characters are well developed. This book is not for the faint of heart but if you are a Karin Slaughter fan, like I am, you will love her writing!
