Another engrossing book by the author who wrote the “The Grant County” and “Will Trent” book series. All are thrillers and full of action, some more relentless than others, but they still make you grit your teeth. This newest installation is a standalone; it’s about two sisters who become estranged from each other because of a man, who marries one of them. More than 20 years later the two sisters reunite after the sister’s husband dies. Or does he? The widowed sister begins finding out disturbing things about her spouse, who had provided her with all her needs. Was he a genuinely loving and gentle man, or was he part of a secret pornographic ring? Full of graphic scenes and unbelievable depravity, the story makes you want to read through the night until your eyes can’t stay open anymore.
I’ve listed below, in the order they were published, the series and standalone books that I’ve read by this author. I will also continue to update the list below, as I continue reading her new publications.

Is Karen Slaughter a pen name? I noticed the Will Trent series only uses single word titles. I haven’t read anything by Karen Slaughter, however, you may like Clive Barker’s work — I highly suggest reading a few of his books. Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes, I am a Clive Barker reader. I mentioned one of his books in my prior reviews here. I don’t think her name is a pen name although with a name like that you would think so.

I just realized I butchered her first name! Oops.
Which Clive Barker books have you read? The Great and Secret Show is lengthy, but you may enjoy the story (if you haven’t already done so).

Yes, I read that and liked it. The last one I read of his and I reviewed here is The Scarlet Gospels (Reviews: July 2015).

Cool! The Abarat series is okay, however, I didn’t mean to hijack your post! Forgive me.

I don’t think you’re hijacking in any way. I like your comments. Doesn’t always have to be about the post. Thanks!
