What are your thoughts on Karin Slaughter?
I read Pretty Girls by her and was floored by the book. It went to a disturbingly gruesome place but was well written. The main characters Claire and Lydia were flawed but some of the most complex characters written. I rated that book 5/5
I have read The Good Daughter and False Witness. I do not mind an author repeating tropes I like reading about lawyers and estranged sisters, but I felt like while still great reads they did pale a little in comparison to Pretty Girls.

The Good Daughter is easily my favorite of hers. Pretty Girls felt a little OTT at times which is good for shock factor but nothing I would be able to read again. I also LOVE the Will Trent series. Some of the books in the series (mostly the earlier novels) are pretty dark. I couldn’t read the entire series without taking breaks in between, haha. The more recent books in the series are still good, just a bit more tame. I have yet to read the Grant County series but most people like it!
Yeah, I’ve only read two of her novels but I also recall her taking on a more graphic and shocking series of events. Maybe it’s a good thing I work in healthcare cause gore personally doesn’t bother me too much and I highly enjoyed them!
Both my husband and I enjoy reading all of her books with the Will Trent series being a favorite.
