"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" -- provided by publisher.

Chilling Thriller Mystery submitted by zixyxuan on June 19, 2017, 12:08pm Wow. This book had me on the edge of my seat for the entire ride. Written from the viewpoints of the two sisters, it honestly seemed like they couldn't trust anyone else outside of their family. I also loved how Slaughter rekindled the two sisters' relationship over their missing older sister and Paul's death. Overall, it was a thrilling and fast-paced novel. My only complaint is the graphic violence committed against the mass of women. I started out by listening to the audiobook but ended up being so thoroughly disgusted that I checked out the novel from the library to skim over the description of the murders.

Overall rating: 3.5 stars
