From the Back Cover
Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.
It’s been more than twenty years since Claire and Lydia last spoke. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire; Lydia, a single mother dating an ex-con, struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the disappearance of their sister Julia two decades earlier—and the shocking murder of Claire’s husband brings the horror and heartbreak of the past roaring back into their lives.
The vanishing of a teenage girl and the killing of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? As they form a wary truce, the surviving sisters unearth the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . .and find the astonishing truth where they least expected it.

Indeed a gripping story. I coun’t sit down my Ipad. But I very gad it’s not a true story. What a good writher! That keeps you reading till the last page!

I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I jumped into this book, I definitely didn't see it going this route. But damn. This was better than I could have expected. There were plenty of times I thought I knew what was going on, and then things would change course, and again I would think I know.... But NOPE! My heart hurt for all that Lydia had gone through and was currently going through. Claire? My god, Claire pushed through so much and threw everyone for a loop! You go girl!! If you're considering giving this book a try, I highly recommend it. Now I'm going to go find something lighthearted and happy to shake off all these emotions.

My heart breaks for the Carroll Family. The betrayal, the lies, the secrets, all the horrible things. To think you know the people who welcome into your family, but really have no clue.Very much enjoyed the twists. Liked the characters. Some parts dragged on a bit. Loved when Claire went into beast mode. All in all, a decent read.

The plot was deranged and twisted but I couldn’t put it down. I’d wake up early to read before work. It was so good. Ending was a bit predictable but the twists throughout had me hooked.

This book was quite slow for the first 1/3. It felt heavy and long; the details and backstory bogged down the story. But once I got past that and into halfway through the book, I was hooked. Some parts seemed drawn out but overall it was a compelling story.It was dark and heavy and definitely a difficult topic but very well done overall.

The best yet from Karin Slaughter. Suspenseful, great characters and even with such a dark subject, the details are so well developed it felt like a true story. Frightening and interesting at the same time.

Dark. Quick read for such a long book. It got a little dull in the middle but the ending read like butter.
