Needs Another Edit submitted by rebecca.perreault on June 16, 2021, 3:32pm Another murder mystery/thriller with lots of gore from Karin Slaughter. I didn't like this one as much as her other books because the book is told through the point of view of two sisters who lived a traumatic home invasion as teenagers. My biggest problem with the book was that the sisters often shared scenes together, so there was lazy editing to change which perspective the story was told through and a lot of repetition. The twist ending was pretty good. You'll just need patience to get through the long repeated chapters.
