This book is full of violence and rape so it's not for everyone!Unpopular opinion but I didn't like this book. I did listen to it as an audiobook which might not have been the best idea.Authors are always asked where they get their ideas, and the truth is that most of the time we don't know. An idea is a weird thing--usually, it's like a grain of sand that your brain worries into a pearl. When did the sand start to turn into something shiny and beautiful? No way to know.WIth PRETTY GIRLS I actually know when I got the idea. Maybe it was somewhere in the back of my brain all along, but I actually woke up from a dream and had the idea firmly in my head (okay, that doesn't tell
In 1991 Julia Carroll disappeared. Her body was never found. In the following years the family coped in very different ways. The mother while forever quietly grieving, moved on and made a new life for herself. The father spent years looking for any clue as to what happened. Sisters Claire and Lydia grieved in very different ways and were estranged having not spoken in many years. Now over twenty years later, there has been another disappearance of a teenage girl and a murder of a middle-aged man
You know you're getting long in the tooth when the book you're reading has a distant past set in 1990. That was the year I joined high school. The past has many treasured memories that I hold dear. But in many ways life was harder than now in societal terms.Which leads us to this book. Pretty Girls is a story written by the talented Karin Slaughter, and the recurring feelings she conveys to us are full of pathos. But she also does a professional job of thinking of convoluted and complex ways to
I found the book to be highly engrossing to read - it's a fiction story that would likely appeal to those who tend to be morbidly curious with the gritty details of true crime stories and murder. While I think Slaughter relies heavily on shock value and violence to be intriguing, I still appreciate the emphasis on family and the bond between the two sisters (even though it is limited to just white feminism, as there's some casual racism that's kind of a turn-off).
I've been late to the table as a Karin Slaughter fan, hard to believe as a crime fiction lover. I adored her book Cop Town and was excited to read this new stand alone thriller.With a missing girl in the news, Claire Scott cant help but be reminded of her sister, who disappeared twenty years ago in a mystery that was never solved.But when Claire begins to learn the truth about her sister, nothing will ever be the same.I found this book to have an interesting plot if somewhat up and down in pace.
