Review: Compulsive psychological page turner! - Around 5 months ago I ‘discovered’ Karin Slaughter, more precisely , her books. The first I read - her latest - We Are All Guilty Here - impressed me so much that I have now read 18 or 19 of her total output of 25 novels to date. Yes, you’re right I’m impressed with her: Karin Slaughter is clearly, and obviously, a very clever - no scratch that - brilliant woman/writer who really gets to - as Graham Green wrote - ‘The Heart Of The Matter’. Not only does she get to heart of the matter; she gets into your heart and tears it apart: such is the depth of her writing and its subject matter. My latest read is her 2015 ‘Pretty Girls’ - a 530 page page-turner which I read/absorbed in two days. A brief quote from page 4: ‘. . .the horrible things that people do to animals and the even more horrible things they do to other human beings.’ My emphasis. How, indeed, can one human being do to another the ‘horrible things’ that they do and that we read about, if not daily, then close enough? I read somewhere that Karin Slaughter has spent 20 years writing about such ‘horrible things’; its true that her books feature a lot of, lets say’ unseemly/nasty stuff: nasty and unseemly but very likely and very sadly true; or at the very least potentially true! Fiction that is fact based. In Pretty Girls we meet the Carroll Family: mother Helen, Father Sam and their three daughters Julia, Lydia & Claire. Twenty years ago the then nineteen year old Julia disappeared and was never found. In spite of their collective heartbreak life, as is said, goes on. Lydia falls into addiction and Claire marries one Paul Scott: A very clever man of considerable means; they have been living a somewhat idyllic lifestyle for nearly twenty years, but as happens with luck - it changes and their previous good luck/fortune changes dramatically when after a night out and whilst engaging in a ‘heat of the moment’ romantic entanglement they are attacked & robbed and Paul is killed . . . So it begins and as so often occurs ‘all is not what it seems’ ? Let the fun begin; let the mystery unravel. Karin Slaughter keeps you on the edge of your seat, and biting your nails as you read this thrilling novel. Yes there are nasty moments, very nasty if truth be told but persuasively written about, and dealt with, in the writing of Ms Slaughter who knows how to get, and hold, your attention. I’m not going to present any spoilers; if you are already a fan you won’t need any incentives to buy, and read, this work. Her books speak for themselves. A wonderful piece of work even if occasionally unsettling and upsetting. I loved it. I have to comment on MsSlaughters comprehensive research which leaves no stone unturned. Whatever the subject matter her writing is such that you think she must have, at least, a phd in that subject: Drugs - both licit & illicit; Phones - landline, mobile & satellite; Internet incl. the Dark web using TOR: The onion router; etc etc etc. Nothing is left to chance; everything rings true . . . Another 5* rating from me - anyway . . .
Review: Pretty Good! Worth a Read.. - This is my first book by Karin Slaughter and I was not disappointed. At times, I was so shocked at what I was reading, I couldn't take my eyes off the page. It's been a while since a book did that! I found the story itself to be interesting, heart breaking and harrowing. Nothing is as it seems though and this book continues to deliver some really good twists and turns that keep you hooked. I felt for all the characters and the author was able to conjure the characters, and their suffering, in a realistic manner. The chapters from the fathers perspective are particularly heart wrenching 😔 I gave this book 4 stars as I felt the middle of the book fell a bit flat and it seemed a bit too dragged out, although I appreciated most of the detail and didn't feel like the ending was rushed (hate when that happens!). I would definitely read another book from Karin Slaughter as clearly she is a very talented writer. 4 stars and a great ending to the reading for 2023!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Draw dropping thriller
*by L***S on 25 April 2025*

If you're looking for a thriller that will leave you tense, disturbed, and utterly unable to put the book down, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter is a must-read. From the first page, the story grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the final, jaw-dropping twist. This book is pure drama laced with deep emotional trauma, layered family dynamics, and dark, brutal secrets that unfold in a way that is both fast-paced and psychologically intense. Slaughter masterfully weaves suspense throughout every chapter, keeping you on edge and constantly questioning what’s real and who to trust. There were moments that made me feel sick to my core—not just from the graphic violence and horror, but from the gut-wrenching emotions and the harrowing subject matter. Yet, it was impossible to look away. Every reveal, every new piece of the puzzle, pulled me deeper in. The twists and turns are relentless and shocking, with some scenes so unexpected they left my mouth hanging open. I truly couldn’t wait to see how it ended—and even when I thought I had it all figured out, Slaughter flipped everything on its head. If you want a book that’s dark, emotional, thrilling, and will haunt you long after the final page, Pretty Girls delivers on every front. Just be ready—because this one doesn’t pull any punches.
