When I saw this book come up on my shelf, I was so excited because every book that Karen Slaughter has written I thoroughly enjoyed. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I couldn’t read it fast enough to find out how it would end. Karin did not disappoint!! This was definitely a page turner….

Absolutely stellar addition to the Will Trent universe. That handles a very very difficult topic but it knocks it out of the park. What a fantastically written thriller.

The newest installment of the Will Trent saga finally arrives! What can I say as a long time lover of Karin Slaughter. After That Night was like hanging out with old friends again. Will, Faith, Sarah and even a few characters from the past. As always, from the first page you are drawn in to a fast paced mystery. Several rapes are suddenly tied to Sarah's rape, which we've known about since her first appearance in Slaughter's books. The story unfolds and we learn the true story behind Sarah. Karin slaughter is a master at character development and readers feel invested in her characters. Will Trent is so very lovable but unique as well! If you like faced paced murder mystery/thriller books- I highly recommend Karin Slaughter!

The audiobook was good, I felt the narrator was a little flat in her normal speaking voice but read the high drama parts very well. Overall, I'd listen to another narrated by Kathleen Early.

Thank you Netgalley and Karin Slaughter for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

I sure have missed these characters!!!
Karin Slaughter weaves together the lives of Sara Linton and Dani Cooper, two women connected by an act of violence that shattered their worlds. The complex storytelling gives so many details and development of each character.
If you've been a fan of Will Trent and Sara Linton for a while now, this one does not disappoint and the twist leave you surprised. There may be some trigger warnings and language but that is almost to be expected from a Karin Slaughter book. It is raw and powerful. It was just a tad too long for my liking but other than that I highly recommend.

I will read a dinner menu if it was written by Slaughter. She grabs her readers and does not let them go until the story is finished. I am a HUGE fan and this audiobook was phenomenal. Even though this is a book in a series, you can read it as a stand alone. It is a small plus to keep up with Will Trent, so if I was you, I would read the entire series! The plot was intense and gripping and the scenes were graphic (might be a trigger warning for some). I would highly recommend this audiobook (bravo to the narrator was bringing this story to LIFE)!

I've been hearing about the Will Trent series for a while but hadn't read any of the books in the series. I have read and enjoyed books by Karin Slaughter though. I listened to the latest installment of the series and absolutely loved the book. The story pulled me in from the start. I didn't feel like I missed out having not read the previous books and was immediately invested in the characters. The pace was good building up the suspense to the end. There were a lot of layers and interesting twists to the story. I listened to this almost in one sitting, only stopping when I had to do other things. I've already picked up some of the earlier books in the series. I received an audio copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3.5 stars.

I've never read a book by Karin Slaughter before and I think this one will stay with me for a long time. There weren't a ton of descriptions of the sexual assaults that took place (though there were plenty, to my mind) but the aftermath was what was affecting and palpable. Trigger warning there. However, I really liked the conversation between Sara and Sloan about stupid, judgemental things people say when they know someone is a survivor, that are offensive, insensitive, and downright dumb. That was a particularly satisfying moment in the book and something more people should know and be aware of.

This is a pure thrill ride, well-paced, and plot-driven, not a huge amount of character development or crafted writing, which I think most people know going in. I didn't realize this was a series, but I think one can dive into it anyway knowing you're not going to get 10 books of backstory summarized herein, so just don't expect all your character questions to be fleshed out.

GBI investigator Will Trent returns in this new release by Karin Slaughter.

Will's fiancée Medical Examiner Sara Linton works on a young woman in the ER who has been brutally attacked and left for dead. Eerily like an experience in Sara's own past, she is compelled to investigate the young woman's death and pulls Will into the search for her assaulter.

With complications such as not actually being assigned to the case and the involvement of a prominent family in Atlanta, the two pursue the case anyway. Trent and Linton must navigate their way through a myriad of roadblocks, twists and turns to learn the truth.

This one will keep you glued until the answers are uncovered.

Kathleen Early, who has many read other of Slaughter's books as well as those of other authors, voices Sara Linton's story.

Recommended for old and new fans of Karin Slaughter and her hero Will Trent.

I just cannot say enough about Karin Slaughter and the Will Trent Series. I have loved every single book in the series and this last one had me from the get-go!

I love how Slaughter writes imperfect, flawed characters and how they resonate with me in different ways. The trio of Faith, Will, and Amanda are so fun to read and see their interactions. I love how Amanda is so into the upcoming wedding and really cares about them. I didn't feel the same "action-packed" story as in some of the previous books, but I was okay with that.

After reading the previous 10 books in the series, I feel like I know the characters personally and I get so excited or sad or emotional for them when different things occur. I love how close Will and Faith are as friends and partners. And the romance between Sara and Will is just growing and growing and I love it.

I loved the audiobook's narrator, Kathleen Early, and I will definitely be inclined to listen to her again. With the combination of Karin Slaughter and an excellent narrator like Ms. Early, the reader just can't go wrong.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for a free audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion which I have given.

Ok, I'm late to the party -- this is my first Will Trent book. First, it read/listened great as a standalone. Next, love the characters! Love the voice! Lastly, intriguing plot that kept me going... and going.... this was long for mystery/thriller. The length and what felt like unnecessary repetition keeps this from being 5 stars for me, but I still highly recommend it, and I'll be back for more.

It's honestly a bit unfair for me to submit a review for a Karin Slaughter book, in particular one read by the absolutely fantastic Kathleen Early - Ms. Slaughter is my favorite author and Ms. Early is my favorite audiobook reader. On top of all of that, the Grant County / Will Trent series is my favorite series of all time. A lot of favorites rolled into one here, eh? Having said all of this, AFTER THAT NIGHT, the latest installment of the Will Trent series, delivers another white-knuckle thrilling story of our wonderful main characters - Will and, another one of my favorites, Dr. Sara Linton. Any and all references to the events of the Grant County series will cut to the core of me, so this book was an emotional rollercoaster for me. For any fan of Ms. Slaughter's this is an easy recommendation. Five stars, A+!!!!

I’m not sure if it was a timing thing, but I couldn’t finish this book. I feel like I have been listening to it for weeks, when it’s really just been days. The book is REALLY long (16 hrs 32 min on audio). I wanted to like this book, because the first chapter hooked me immediately, and I started watching the Will Trent TV series that night, but I think the length just got to me and I lost interest with all the characters. The narrator was great, despite the length.

This book pulled me in from start to finish. When i wasn’t listening, i was thinking about it. I’m not quite sure what it was but i was really into the story and the puzzle of it. And damn it i was down for them catching a bunch of rapists.

This story has a lot of details and can be quite graphic at times. But i was really sucked into the story and the characters.

I also really liked the main characters. They’re smart and in your face. I know this is a series and i was not caught up on it and I’m sure having more background info would have helped but i did fine with understanding the story and didn’t feel like i was really missing anything.

I just enjoyed this story and was surprised by the ending.

The narration was done well.

A string of women abused, assaulted, and left for dead. How far will rich white men go to protect themselves, their reputation, their children?

This book was jarring and shocking at every turn. It did not feel long, I felt so invested in Sarah’s story, and all the women’s stories she learns throughout the book.

As usual, Slaughter weaves in legality, medicine, and true despicable people in an expert way. There are a lot of characters, and some side plots, but they all play in together.

If you liked PRETTY GIRLS , you’ll want to pick this one up!

After the night is an amazing edition to the on going Will Trent series. Once again, Slaughter uses her novel to look at the complexities of healing from sexual violence while still giving the reader a page turner thriller that explores more into the lives of the characters she has built throughout the series
Thank you netgalley for providing me with the ARC

Phew. Not surprised. Another great book by a Karin Slaughter.

This book was a full of sick and twisted stuff. Trigger warnings for this one are pretty intense: sexual abuse, rape, murder, suicide, spousal abuse, violence, substance abuse, etc. If it’s a trigger, it’s in here.

But I would still recommend it! It had the perfect amount of thrill and suspense, while still being a great story that kept you intrigued in the whole time.

@karinslaughterauthor has been one of my favorite authors for a long time. But I am embarrassed to say that this is my first Will Trent novel. I think I’ve decided that October will be a Will Trent marathon lol.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I listen to the audio version as an ARC from @netgalley and thought it was absolutely well done.

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for provided me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Karin Slaughters books are always a go to for me. I enjoy them!! I was happy to read the return of Sara and Will’s story! It had plenty of suspense and I was never bored. Also the narrator did great!

Slaughter is a master storyteller from start to finish. Will Trent and Dr. Sarah Linton are, once again, characters in this book which makes it even more engrossing.
The narrator was fabulous. Her voice and pacing moved the story along at the perfect pace.
As always, the book is dark but this one seemed even darker than her others. It's impossible not to emerge from reading this book, a bit more knowledgeable about the intricacies of medicine. The subject of rape was discussed and dissected in a manner that really brought home the psychological horror of it.
This was certainly good vs. evil. What's redeeming is that no matter how evil some of the characters were, the good characters prevailed. The good relationships outweighed the evil ones and Slaughter knows just how to accomplish that.

As always, I can't wait for the next one.

I love the characters. I have been reading Linton/Trent books for years. I like how Sara has a large part of the storyline and I love the relationships between the characters. I also love hating the bad guys. I can’t wait for the next one and am so glad I got the opportunity to listen to this one early. It was a strong 4.5 so I rounded up.

I am glad it is the same narrator. I know what to expect and it is consistent.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher/producer for the advance audio.

Sooo, I didn’t realize this was the 11th book in a series when I picked it up, but if I’m being honest, I didn’t feel like I was lost at all while reading it - it absolutely can be read as a standalone.

I was in need of a good thriller and this book had me hooked from the first chapter! All of the interconnected crimes felt like a puzzle I had to piece together with Will and his partner Faith. There were so many layered crimes and so many people involved that it kept me on my toes. Slaughter touched on important themes of corruption and how money and good lawyers have a history of getting the rich out of unspeakable actions.

Even with all of the dark themes throughout the book, there was a needed warmth between Will and Sarah. They were such a likable couple who pushed and cared for each other in a fierce way.

I honestly could not put this book down so if you’re looking for a good thriller, this is it! However, it does revolve around some incredibly triggering and difficult topics so I recommend reading trigger warnings first.

Thank you Karin Slaughter, Blackstone Publishing, and Netgalley for a gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
