After That Night - Karin Slaughter

I have been eagerly awaiting a new book from Karin Slaughter! After That Night is the new Will Trent (#11), and Sara Linton book. 

Slaughter continues to move the lives of her characters forward. Will Trent is an Investigator and Sara Linton is a Medical Examiner with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The supporting characters are all back as well, including Faith and Amanda. All of the players have a personal storyline that always makes the characters feel like actual people.

Faithful readers will know of the brutal attack that happened to Sara fifteen years ago. In After That Night, another young woman is attacked in a manner that appears to have similarities to the attack on Sara.

Slaughter is a master of plotting. The details, the clues, the connections, and the final answers also feel like this is an actual case. The reader can't help but be drawn into the story. And it's impossible to put the book down. And that last bit? Loved it.

Slaughter does such a fantastic job of handling and presenting a hard topic with candor and respect. And reality.

After That Night is another stellar book from Karin Slaughter. See for yourself - read an excerpt of After That Night.

I've enjoyed a few of Slaughter's standalone, but I've yet to dive into this series. With this being book 11, I've got a ton of catching up!
