Another great book from slaughter! I love the will Trent series and this one did not disappoint. The characters are deep and the story is always so dark and twisty. Thank you netgalley for my free review copy.

I flew thru this book and loved the story. I love how Sara was able to overcome her past to try to help Dani.

Karin Slaughter maintains her HOME RUN status with this latest installment in her Will Trent Series!! I am always so sad when I reach The End of Ms. Slaughters stories because I don't want to say goodbye to my friends who I won't see until the next book! Its a MUST READ!!

After That Night is well written, well thought out, perfectly paced and riveting. Karin Slaughter does not shy away from brutal scenes or discussions which make her books feel even more real to me. Slaughter not only shows readers the effect that rape has on victims but shows predators as well. Her books may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love them!

I have been reading her books for years and she continues to deliver time and time again! This book had a nice number of twists, turns and revelations in addition to the tension which snowballed as the book progressed.

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a fantastic job.

Well written, gripping, shocking, tense, and hard to put down!

'After That Night' by Karin Slaughter is a solid mystery, true crime novel. A nice addition to the Will Trent series.

The writing is solid, creating a vivid atmosphere, but the plot is a mix of captivating moments and predictability. Characters are well-developed, though some lack depth. Pacing fluctuates, making it a decent but not outstanding read.

I've been a fan of Karin Slaughter for years and am always happy to get a new release from her. Love Sarah and Will and the rest of the crew and hope she continues with these characters!

After that Night is such a great novel! I have not read any of the other Will Trent novels, and had no issues reading this one as a stand-alone novel. The story follows Sara Linton, Will Trent & Faith as they search to find the connection between Sara's rape 15 years ago and a rape case that Sara is testifying for. Along the way there are many twists and turns and continuous suspense.
Be warned: there is graphic mention about rape & sexual assault and at times I needed to put the book away as I was so emotional.
Karin Slaughter does a fantastic job on this story, and I will be sure to read more of the Will Trent books!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

▪️After Sarah, a doctor, has to testify in court about a rape case, she realizes there are many similarities to her rape. There are too many to ignore. Could there be others?

▪️From there, a twisted, dark story unfurls. Who is responsible for these rapes?

▪️After That Night, is so intense and such a good read. The lowdown creepiness of the predatory characters is appalling. Karin leads us through a story of greed and arrogance passed from generation to generation. What comes to pass are several rapes and murders with similarities that can’t be overlooked.

▪️There are some surprising outcomes that really put my mind in overdrive. So many unlikable characters, but also some who I could root for. The story is straightforward and frank, without describing the nitty gritty parts in detail.

💕Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing this ebook for me to read and review.

While this is part of the Will Trent series one doesn’t have to read the others to be drawn into this story. This focuses more on Sara than Will and is very suspenseful at times. The ending will take you by surprise.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of After That Night by Karin Slaughter.

Sara Linton is attending when a girl comes into the ER after a horrific attack and manages to get out what happened to her before she dies. It is eerily similar to what happened to Sara herself and when Sara testifies at the trial for Dani's rapist she learns there really may be a connection between the two. This was really good-with Will and Sara delving in deeper and finding there may have been more victims, and piecing those connections together. I've not read all the WT books but you don't need to do so to enjoy this one. The ending I did not see coming and it was shocking. Really like Karin Slaughter's books.

📖My Thoughts📖

That was a twisted ride if I’ve ever seen one! I’ll be honest, I had no idea this was part of a series, because all I looked at was the author, title and cover and it was enough for me to request it. Can it be read as a standalone? Absolutely. However, I think if I had read the prior books in the series, I would have a better understanding and knowledge of the background of the main characters. This was a tough one to read with the nature of the content, so be sure to check the trigger warnings before reading this one. As a thriller, one expects there to be triggers throughout the book. Rape is hard for a lot of people to read about, and with the graphic descriptions that are entailed throughout the book, it may be a bit much for some. It was a fairly long book but a very good one. I definitely was not expecting the ending at all. That definitely took me by surprise. While I do have a few of Slaughter’s books, this is actually the first one I’ve read so far, and I can assure you, it most definitely won’t be the last. She is very talented to say the least, and does an amazing job keeping her audience engaged and wanting more. Not all authors can pride themselves on bringing such an intense subject to the table pulling it off so flawlessly. If you haven’t read any of her books and enjoy a good crime/thriller, I strongly urge you to grab one of her books as soon as possible. You won’t regret it!
Thank you Netgalley, William Morrow and Karen Slaughter for the opportunity to read and review this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: KS can do no wrong!! This series is EVERYTHING!! I absolutely adore Will and Sara and this book was absolutely worth the wait. Karin is truly a mastermind and the way her mind works is just absolutely incredible. This felt a little more emotional than some of the earlier books in the series but still kept the dark eerie crime aspects that I love. I cannot wait for the next book!!!

After That Night by Karin Slaughter is book #11 in the Will Trent series, but could easily be read as a standalone. However, as a fan of her Grant County series, this was a joy to read because one of the beloved leads from those books is in this one.

I consider Karin Slaughter the queen of mysteries & this one is no exception to her history of shockingly gruesome stories sure to have you second-guessing right until the end. No one can top the detailed, dark & daring mysteries that Karin Slaughter creates with the most captivating stories & characters.

I always recommend checking content warnings for Karin Slaugjter books because while they are the most incredible mystery books you’ll read, they can be quite dark & so I give a heads up.

I will read anything Karin Slaugjter writes & be captivated, stunned & surprised each & every time. I cannot wait to see what comes next!

Massive thanks to NetGalley & William Morrow for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

Content Warnings: This book mentions &/or contains murder, sexual assault, stalking & forced drugging.

Spine tingling
Jarring
Lots of being tossed about from the reader’s seat.
I raced through the pages, knowing I was going to get a great read, but unable to prevent my galloping toward the end.
Because I had to find out after the crescendo.
Slaughter can interweave words on a plot with a skill like a tapestry weaver. Tightly woven, taut, and solid.
Great read. I loved the ending. Will deserves love.

I admit to being a lifelong Karin Slaughter fan, so I will always read her work. That said, I thought this one was just okay. I think it was a bit convoluted and about a quarter too long. Recommended by those who follow the Will Trent series, but be warned that this one was more Sara Linton than WIll.
