\n\"Pretty<\/a>Pretty Girls<\/a> by Karin Slaughter<\/a>
\nMy rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

Time taken to read – in and out over 3 days<\/p>\n

Pages – 432<\/p>\n

Blurb from Goodreads <\/p>\n

Twenty years ago Claire Scott’s eldest sister, Julia, went missing. No one knew where she went – no note, no body. It was a mystery that was never solved and it tore her family apart.<\/p>\n

Now another girl has disappeared, with chilling echoes of the past. And it seems that she might not be the only one.<\/p>\n

Claire is convinced Julia’s disappearance is linked.<\/p>\n

But when she begins to learn the truth about her sister, she is confronted with a shocking discovery, and nothing will ever be the same…<\/p>\n

My Review <\/p>\n

This is my first Karin Slaughter, it won’t be the last, my goodness it is jaw dropping. We hear from Julia’s father in journal like entries peppered through the book. Julia was the much loved older sister of Claire and Lydia who disappeared and her family never got over it. Claire is married and the book opens at a bar with her and her husband, they nip up a wee alley and the unthinkable happens. Lydia, her sister is a mum and couldn’t be living a different life from Claire, Claire has money galore, Lydia is making ends meet and the girls haven’t spoken in many years. Claire doesn’t rock the boat, Lydia is firey and will kick off and say what needs said, when circumstances bring the two together the past can no longer stay in the past.<\/p>\n

So guys there is a lot of shocking and shady stuff in this, predatory behaviour, really sick bad people, abuse, murder, SA, exploitation, secrets, lies and a family torn apart by the disappearance of their loved one and the past.<\/p>\n

The book is really dark at times and just when you think it can’t get any darker or shocking BAM, rug pulled out. I thought I had a dysfunctional family LOL. The depravity of some folk may make some scenes difficult to read but my God you will struggle to put this down. I know I have others of hers on my tbrm, we won’t be leaving it so long to get to the next one, just need to find it\/them on my five bookcases, 5\/5.\n<\/p>\n
