Pretty Girls: A Novel por Karin Slaughter
4.5 stars
Romanzo d'esordio della Slaughter, dove la protagonista è Sara Linton.
Molte pagine per stomaci forti, tra omicidi e autopsie.
Forse non il suo migliore thriller, ma con il tempo è migliorata.
Trama avvincente, nonostante un finale un po' banale, anche se gli indizi disseminati fanno già comprendere chi è il colpevole.

I didn't realize this book was part of a series until I came to add it on Goodreads, but since I was already over 30% in I just kept going with it. What I like about Karin Slaughter's writing style in this book is that she gives the right amount of information that I didn't feel as if I was missing anything or that I was confused about anything.
In this thriller we dive into the life of Sara and how what happened to her 15 years ago ties in to some horrible crimes that are currently happening. It is crazy af what goes on and although it was a bit of a slow start it picked up pace quickly as it went on. Although I started figuring it out before the end it was still real messed up as far as for a psychological thriller.
Warning - Sexual assault trigger , I don't have things that trigger me however some of it did make me feel ill only because it's sad that some of this crap actually happens in this messed up world. I will not dwell on that though, it is a book and I do enjoy thrillers. I enjoyed this one despite the trigger parts.… (mais)
