"Every new thriller by Karin Slaughter is a reason to celebrate!" - Kathy Reichs. "Slaughter knows how to captivate even newcomers with her blend of hard-hitting violence and emotional turmoil. Additionally, her unbeatable dry humor shines through, defusing the explicit horror scenarios of her expertly escalating thrillers: a silly code word, a romantic surprise in a Big Mac box, or the most callous burial of all time." - kulturnews.
