Sinossi
Claire e Lydia sono sorelle che non si parlano da più di vent'anni. I loro rapporti si sono interrotti quando Claire ha deciso di sposare Paul, affermato architetto, e di diventare la sua sofisticata moglie trofeo. Lydia, invece, è una madre single, ha una storia con un ex detenuto, e fatica ad arrivare alla fine del mese. Nessuna delle due è riuscita a superare la tragedia che ha colpito la loro famiglia quando Julia, la sorella maggiore, è scomparsa senza lasciare tracce, e la notizia che un'altra ragazza, anche lei giovane e bellissima, è sparita nel nulla in circostanze molto simili, di colpo riporta nelle loro vite tutto l'orrore e lo strazio del passato. Come se non bastasse, pochi giorni dopo Paul viene ucciso. Che legame c'è tra la scomparsa di un'adolescente e l'omicidio di un uomo di mezza età a quasi venticinque anni di distanza? Accantonata la reciproca diffidenza, le due sorelle si alleano per dissotterrare i segreti che hanno distrutto le loro vite, finendo per scoprire una scioccante verità dove meno se l'aspettano.

Recensioni
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
Here's the thing. The book is full of torture porn. It's about 400 pages and I'd say 1/4 is straight up, highly detailed repetitive torture porn. That's about 100 pages describing women being tortured, raped and murdered. And cut up. This isn't your run-of-the-mill thriller. No, no. This is big kid st Leggi tutto
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.

i love any book that packs a punch, and this one really beats the shit out of me every time
I just want to start by saying I don't want to list any spoilers here; I think this book was so powerful that I would hate to discourage someone from reading it because I took away from their experience before even beginning the book. Wow! This book was heavy. I just can't think of a better word to s Leggi tutto
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. Karin Slaughter is on my never reading again list. While her books are quite popular, I find them too sexually violent for me. In a gratuitous way. I never thought I'd find books Leggi tutto
The world stops for you when you’re pretty. That’s why women spend billions on crap for their faces. Their whole life, they’re the center of attention. People want to be around them just because they’re attractive. Their jokes are funnier. Their lives are better. Well, there might be some downsi Leggi tutto
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
4.5 stars. This book truly blew me away. I was not a huge fan of the story in the beginning but once it picked up, I could not put it down. CW: murder, violence, gore, torture, rape, assault This novel is straight up disturbing and horrifying. I don’t believe I have ever read a more graphic and chilli Leggi tutto
