Publisher's Summary

Lena Adams has spent her life struggling to escape her past. She has only unhappy memories of Reece, the small town that nearly destroyed her. She's made a new life for herself as a police detective in Heartsdale, a hundred miles away. But nothing could prepare her for the violence that explodes when she is forced to return. A vicious murder leaves a young woman incinerated beyond recognition. And Lena is the only suspect.

When Heartsdale Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver, Lena's boss, receives word that his detective has been arrested, he has no choice but to go to Lena's aid, taking with him his wife, Medical Examiner Sara Linton. But soon after their arrival, a second victim is found. The town closes ranks. And both Jeffrey and Sara find themselves entangled in a horrifying underground world of bigotry and rage - a violent world which shocks even them, a world that puts their own lives in jeopardy.

Only Jeffrey and Sara can free Lena from the web of lies, betrayal, and brutality that has trapped her. But can they discover the truth before the killer strikes again?

Mmmmm

Good story, alright performance
The audio glitches sometimes
And what the heck is with the music towards the end.

Not as good as the others
Still enjoyable though.

Strange

This book skipped a bit and there was random patches of music that played.
It was ok, but these things were a little off putting.

Good story some glitches in playback

This is the 6th book in the series, it’s always good to continue with the storyline & characters, really enjoying them all.
This book had times where it glitched & jumped a few seconds, multiple times, I don’t think it was my app as it did it in the same place every time no matter how many times I went back & forward… also they played background music at times 🙄🙄 not great! Music at the very end was almost inappropriate to what was happening but… all in all it was still a great addition to the series… hopefully no more music in the next 2 novels 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Skin Privilege

This book was very short. The story line was hard to follow and it kept jumping. Really not impressed. Hopefully the next one is better

Great story, but find another recording

The story is great, Karin Slaughter is my favorite author, but the performance is this is off. Not only does music play at spots that makes no sense in the flow of the narration, but the narration glitches at least 5 times through the book. It will skip a few seconds, not long enough to lose what’s going on, but glitchy enough to be obvious that is skipped through a full sentence.
Don’t spend your money/credit on this recording.

Love the book but omg the audio

The stupid music between chapters playing soo loudly you can barely hear the words, then the narrator repeating sentences. This is the worst audiobook I’ve ever listened to.

Poor audio

The storyline was a little scattered and hard to follow. Random music would play over the narrator and at times it would jump back and forth (not intentionally)
I love Karin Slaughter novels so I will listen to the next with hopes that it is of better quality.

Distracting

Good story but the music playing over the audio at most inappropriate times made me wish I had not spent a credit on this book.
