It's a southern suspense with soul!
A deep and often powerful exploration of families, siblings and troubled relationships underpin this soft-boiled thriller. Quite epic in scope despite being set in a small, often claustrophobic environment, the town of Pikeville is a place where memories are long and resentment festers.
Karin Slaughter expends a lot of energy fully drawing her characters, I'm sure everyone reading this will pick a side between Sam and Charlie, the sisters who are so similar yet so different.
Recommended. The ending? Not quite the reward for the journey I would have hoped, but still a worthwhile journey to embark upon.
