I loved this dark and twisty thriller.
I loved reading False Witness and Pieces Of Her so seeing this one come up I knew I wanted to read or listen to Karin Slaughter's latest. I had not tried the Will Trent series before needless to sav I have now ordered the first two books and am eager to dive in !
We begin with Dr Sara Linton giving evidence at a trial of an incident in her ER that happened 3 years prior.
The similarities between the case she is testifying at and an attack on her 15 ears before start Sara and her partner Will on an investigation of all these crimes - first on the side then as an official investigation. loved the cast of characters. Slaughter writes fully rounded, plausible people who all have their own demons but also an innate sense of right and wrong with the need to provide justice for innocent victims.
This book worked as a stand-alone for me even though it is the 11th book within the Will Trent series, but as already mentioned I now want to read the rest. This was dark and twisty and I was captivated. Fantastic reading!

Dani give Sara information that ends up with Sara called to testify in a civil case against a young man, son of a well known local surgeon, accused of the crime.

While on a break in the trial, Sara meets up with the young man's mother (who is also someone she knew 15 years ago) who drunkenly says that this and Sara's assault are connected.

Sara, her fiance/Special Agent Will, and his partner Faith begin to investigate and it's clear people don't want this information coming out.

This one had me on the edge of my seat and I'm certain I gasped a time or two!

Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Karin Slaughter reigns supreme as the queen of crime thrillers. I have actually not yet read any other Will Trent books, but I love that they work well as standalones for those who feel the huge series list can be daunting. This book had me hooked from the start and I truly did not return to my normal life until it was finished (apologies to my dogs, husband, and job..lol) I will definitely be going back and reading more Will Trent and Slaughter's other titles because i did not want this to end!

Another wonderful installment of the Will Trent and Sara Linton series. I love, love, love these characters, and while the situations they seem to find themselves in are increasingly bizarre, I'm here for all of it! I enjoyed the deeper delve into Sara's past experience, the character-building of even Amanda, and look forward to the next book, when Will and Sara get married - probably with a murder or two in the building!

I absolutely loved this one! We finally got the answers we’ve all been waiting for about Sara’s past and it seems like this could be the end of this series and it makes me so sad. I could read about Will and Sara forever - they are one of my favorite couples. I love how seamlessly Karin incorporates medical jargon into the book and it doesn’t even matter if you are in the medical field. She makes it so easy to understand what’s going on anyways. Once again - she has outdone herself and I am hoping we get more from Will Trent!

4 ⭐️

This is my second book by Karin Slaughter I think? But I will still be reading more books by her hehehe. There are TW associated with this book so please search them before proceeding. I recommend reading her other books in series to understand the book better and I will say the content is pretty heavy but less gory and violent than her other book like the Pretty Girls. Has great writing and the book was kind of slow at first but the pacing catches on and I was like omg.


Thank you Netgalley and William Morrow , for this e-book ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Sara is a doctor who is happily engaged to Will who is a police officer. Sara is working the trauma ER one night (which is weird cause shes in peds) when a young girl comes in after being attacked. Sara works to save her and promises to help find who did this. All of this brings up Sara’s own past rape and how these two events are tied together. With Will and his partner, Faith, they go to work trying to find out who is doing this and how to prove it.

As I said before, I didn’t know this was a series until I started this one which is #11 in the series. 😳 It was easy to follow and I didn’t feel lost at all. I do think it would be cool to have the background from all of the books but it worked perfectly fine reading this one on it’s own. I really enjoyed this author and hope to read more in the future. I like police procedural books and enjoyed the crazy ride this one went on. It is heavy and I don’t normally talk triggers but this is all about multiple rapes so be aware of that going in. I loved Will and Sara together and thought Faith was also a great character. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks @netgalley and the publisher for an arc for review.

Loved this book so dang much. I love that you don't need to read all of the books in this series to understand it all perfectly. I loved how it all tied together. I loved the MC and her determination. This is one of my favs from Karin Slaughter. Highly recommend!

There are no words to describe how phenomenal any of Karin Slaughter's books are. I will say, they are not for the faint of heart and they can be intense, but they are SO GOOD. The story lines never miss and she keeps you on the edge of your seat. I also enjoy that this is part of a huge series, but as someone newer to her work, I can read it as a standalone and not be confused. Highly HIGHLY recommend her work, just always read any trigger warnings available to be as prepared as possible.

Wow! This was addicting. I do think that if I read the first books I would have felt a stronger connection to the character, however I still was able to read and understand a good chunk of what was happening.

Please check trigger warnings as this is a very dark read. I will be honest and say it was sometimes a bit tough to get through because we are spared very little details in some things. The way that Karin writes books really sucks you into the story and this one was done just as well!!

This was dark and disturbing - exactly what I expect when reading a Karin Slaughter book. I love this series and these characters. This story was a lot, but the way she writes these heavy storylines and backs it up with engrossing characters, it was such an enjoyable read. I was engrossed the whole time.

Karin Slaughter is a mastermind. Just another amazingly twistedly written mystery. I love Sarah Linton and her strong female character. I couldn’t put this book down, from start to finish, another emotionally powerful story & fans of Karin Slaughter are sure to love this installment in the series. Thank you Net Galley & William Morrow for the advanced copy of this book.

I loved the newest installment of the Will Trent series. After that Night has all the elements you've come to expect in a Karin Slaughter book. It was gritty and graphic in nature due to the subject matter. I did appreciate though that this book while dealing with the matter of rape focused more on the police work and didn't get too focused on the acts. I read several of the series out of order and I've been recently listening to them all in order. But KS does a good job with each book being its own story so that you can read them out of order and still get enough information to know what's happening. I think there is still a few books that I need to listen to but I was happy to see Will, Sara, Faith, and Amanda working together without also having to deal with Angie or Lena. I can't stand either of those women. I've also watched the TV series and I have to say I see Faith and Amanda as their TV characters which screw with your head when your reading details on them yet Will, I still see as I always have in my head and not as his TV character. Anyway, if you like KS or are a fan of the Will Trent series, you'll enjoy After that Night.

I did not care for this book mostly becase of the writing and the direction the story went. I do not recommend.

If you’ve read the Will Trent series, this is a must read. The book starts off with a bang and keeps the momentum going, but it also tells you a major part of the will trent/sara linton story. It is well written like all of Karin Slaughters other books.

Karin Slaughter books just keep getting better and better! Her newest Will Trent installment is everything! Plenty of tension, drama, angst, and sex- everything a solid thriller needs- it's right here. A page turning good time. Fans of Will Trent will be blown away and new readers are in for a treat, peepare to get sucked into the world of Karin Slaughter

Happy Publication Day!
This is book #11 of the almighty Will Trent series that has recently taken on the world with vigor being seen on the small screen to millions!

First off I would not recommend reading this book as a standalone. I also would not recommend you begin Will Trent book #3 in the series until AFTER you have completed The Grant County series! Trust me on this!

This book focuses on Sara (MC in The Grant County & Will Trent series), returning to her college days when she became a victim of sexual assault and her life changed forever!

This book, like most of Karin Slaughter’s books deal with awful crimes that happen to women! They are painfully honest, but that is why Karin Slaughter is my favorite author. She isn’t afraid to go into detail about what happens before, during and after these crimes occur. The characters are everyday people, because assault can happen to anyone, no matter your color, class or age.

Will & Sara also have changed in this book, as you can now feel that no matter how rough it gets, they will remain together!

Love love love!

Wow, this was amazing. I didn’t realize it was part of a series and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read some of the other books, but still so well done. Characters were great, story wasn’t too predictable. The thriller portion was realistic. Sara is an ER doctor who has a patient who dies after saying she was raped. Sara promises to find the rapist. As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that there is a connection to Sara’s past.

Thank you Netgalley, William Morrow, and author Karin Slaughter for sending me both an eARC and physical ARC in exchange for an honest review of After The Night! This book releases today!

✍🏼 My Thoughts
This book has heavy trigger warnings: domestic abuse, sexual violence, stalking and graphic descriptions. So please keep in mind before picking this up for a read.

Guys—-you wouldn’t believe that while this is the 11th Will Trent installment that this is my first of the series haha! Even though each of the main character have their own established storyline, I still enjoyed it! I kept an open mind while reading it because it dragged on a little bit for me, but—granted that it is a police procedural, Slaughter definitely immerses the reader into the whole investigation process in finding the perpetrator. Now I feel like I would have to watch the Will Trent series on Hulu…has anybody watched it yet?

Overall giving this 4.5 stars!

Most people who know me, know that I love Karin Slaughter thrillers. She's an auto-buy author for me and absolutely one of my all-time favorites.

ᴛʜᴇ sᴛᴏʀʏ: Technically book 11 in the Will Trent series, After That Night can absolutely be read as a standalone. Will's fiance and medical examiner Sara Linton loses a patient (a rape victim) and discovers a connection to her own rape 15 years earlier.

ᴍʏ ᴛᴡᴏ ᴄᴇɴᴛs: This was a solid thriller, but I can't say it's one of my favorites. For anyone who isn't sure they can handle how typically graphic and disturbing her books are, this one was surprisingly tame. Sadly for me, I was already anticipating the "twist" at the end which either means I've become a great detective after reading so many thrillers or just have as twisted a mind 😂

Obviously, there are major trigger warnings here for rape as the entire book centers around various rape victims and their perpetrators, so I don't recommend this lightly.

Overall, it was another enjoyable book and I was so excited to get to read an ARC from one of my faves. I definitely want to go back and start the Will Trent series from the beginning, especially before watching the show adaptation!
