Pretty Girls by Karin SlaughterRead about another entry on the list.
Even the heartiest KS fans (of which I am one) were somewhat uncomfortable with this book. From almost the first page there is a crime scene that sets the stage for this story—blood. Lots and lots of blood. And no shortage of gore as two sisters try to reconcile the disappearance of their sister when they were teenagers, and the murder of the husband of one sister. This book has a little of almost everything that makes the reader uncomfortable. Best not to start this book after eating a large meal.
Pretty Girls is among Harry Dolan's eight top crime novels about people haunted by their pasts.
