Karin Slaughter is an American crime writer. The author of eighteen novels, Slaughter has sold more than 35 million copies of her books, which have been published in 37 languages …

I can’t recommend her 2015 book Pretty Girls unless you can tolerate horrific torture, rape, mutilation and murder.

I can’t.

After two books I’m giving up on Slaughter though she’s an excellent writer admired by Lee Childs, Kathy Reichs, Gillian Flynn and others in the crime genre.
