Description

Don’t miss the next Will Trent thriller, This Is Why We Lied, coming this August! 

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“It’s Slaughter’s prodigious gifts of characterization that make her stand out among thriller writers.”   — Washington Post

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her, comes an electrifying thriller featuring newly minted US Marshal Andrea Oliver as she investigates a cold case with links to her father’s past. 

A small town hides a big secret…

Who killed Emily Vaughn?

A girl with a secret…

Longbill Beach, 1982. Emily Vaughn gets ready for the prom. For an athlete, who is smart, pretty and well-liked, this night should be the highlight of her high school career. But Emily has a secret. And by the end of the evening, that secret will be silenced forever. 

An unsolved murder…

Forty years later, Emily’s murder remains a mystery. Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. But all that’s about to change.

One final chance to uncover a killer…

US Marshal Andrea Oliver arrives in Longbill Beach on her first assignment: to protect a judge receiving death threats. But, in reality, Andrea is there to find justice for Emily. The killer is still out there—and Andrea must discover the truth before she gets silenced, too…

    Storyline was good with characters you love to hate, but leave the political preaching to non-fiction writers. Absolutely no one reads fiction so they can be preached at.

    The latest books have been overall good and Karin Slaughter is a talented author, however, the author’s political biases creep into the stories in a way that’s disappointingly distracting. It becomes predictably partisan and we all read fiction to escape this sort of thing.

  • Great twists. Not one… but a few.

    I love the way she kept you interested by flipping you between the present and past story lines. She also brought the two together very well. Didn’t feel rushed to give me all the info at once. She dropped each piece so well into the story and I didn’t know the killer until the end. That’s not easy to do with me. I will absolutely look for more of her books. Great read. Think I devoured it in two days.

  • Great mystery and characters

    Really enjoyed this book. A lot of characters to follow but in the end it did not matter except for the ones who were bad!

  • Too long and detailed

    The plot itself was interesting but a third of the book could have been cut and it would have the same impact. Waaaaaaay to wordy and descriptive where it wasn’t needed. Occasionally made it boring (I skipped quite a few pages)p

  • Suspense

    The author had me wanting to know who did it. However, I was very disappointed with the ending. I almost felt like I wasted my time.

  • Not for me

    I didn’t care for this book. The situation and behavior of the protagonist didn’t seem believable.

  • Great mystery
