Story

Gripping story. Tempo of the book was good. The twists of the story was good to. I really liked this book

WoW!

Would you consider the audio edition of Pretty Girls to be better than the print version?

It was pretty good.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Definitely!

What does Jennifer Woodward and Robert G Slade bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Different points of view.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Knowing the truth of what had happened to Julia.

Any additional comments?

I loved all of her books, specially Will Trend ones.

Nice!

Although the content was gruesome the storyline was excellent. Very fast paced and sprinkled with sarcastic humor, which is expected in a Karin Slaughter novel. The narration was great. I particularly enjoyed Mr. Slades performance and felt it provided a good infusion of quiet sincerity in contrast to Ms. Woodward*s relaying of the balance of the story. Both narrators did an excellent job portraying the characters. Accents were spot on.

Gripping thriller from start to finish!

Would you consider the audio edition of Pretty Girls to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version but the audio version was extremely well done. Excellent performances! Brilliant story and unpredictable plot.

What other book might you compare Pretty Girls to and why?

Similar to Karin Slaughter's Grant County thrillers, this story is well constructed with believable characters. The villain is a complex character but his/her acts are pure evil! The protagonist tends to receive help from an unexpected source and there are twists and turns the whole way through the book.

Which scene was your favorite?

I enjoyed the end scene. After reading a very thrilling book where the protagonists encountered one setback after the next, and it seemed all hope was lost, it was wonderful to see them take back their power in the end. I won't say more and spoil the ending for you - but this was a really powerful scene.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was very disturbed at times when the story became too violent. The villain is particularly wicked and his abuse of women is diabolical. These scenes are quite graphic and fortunately, not that long or frequent.

Any additional comments?

Karin is a master storyteller and this is one of the best I've read so far. Highly recommended!

One of her best works.

What did you love best about Pretty Girls?

The mystery. The whole story had me wondering who I should trust and who I should hate. It was an amazing book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pretty Girls?

When the truth is revealed. I guessed some of the bad guys, but not all.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!

Painting with word.

Karen Slaughter writes very vivid pictures in her book. Can't turn pages fast enough. Thanks

A Page Turning Suspense!

Karin Slaughter manages once again to draw you into the lives of not only a twisted killer but into the devastated family of a missing girl. There is such a tangled web of corruption, intrigue and often you are too questioning who you could trust. A word of warning if you are at all squeamish there is one torture session that left me feeling awful...obviously a sign of a good writer that manages to do that!

Gripping

A gripping story of a family that has gone through various struggles. It was action packed and full of twists, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Explicit and wee bit triggering!

A well written story although not for the faint hearted. Really explicit and at times a bit frightening to read. Divulging deep into the darker parts of humanity. Definitely kept me up at night.

Riveting. Can't Put down. Love Karin Slaughter

If you could sum up Pretty Girls in three words, what would they be?

Pretty Girls is the thriller version of the 2014 books of the year--the ones that slowly unravel the complexities of individuals. so slowly that it drains the reader .The difference with Pretty Girls is that there is NO fluff, no psychological babble--EVERY word written has significance and is gripping. Pretty Girls is about 3 sisters, one murdered long ago, and their parents vert different way of dealing with the pain. The 2 living sisters are estranged and living very different lives, but come together in a can't put down story where EVERYTHING is linked.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pretty Girls?

It's all memorable. Please stop reading this review and buy the book. If you love psychological thrillers, this book is for you. Karin Slaughter can be a gory writer, but this book is not like that, although it is graphic in nature.

Which character – as performed by Jennifer Woodward and Robert G Slade – was your favorite?

The narrators did an amazing job of voicing the characters. I can't put a finger on a favorite character. I would have to say Lydia, the tough and resilient sister. I loved her most because I loved her boyfriend.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Extreme reaction--LOVED this book. It's in my top 10 of 1000's. I read everything of Karin Slaughter. She's in my top 5 of favorite authors.
