I absolutely love Karin Slaughter and have read most of her books, the inhabitants of Grant County and Will Trent and his colleagues are all wonderful characters, but this was disappointing. Both stories had no real substance and were ridiculously short. I think this is probably just an isolated exception because I enjoyed the short story Snatched. Come on Karin, I know for a fact you can do much much better!

I usually really enjoy Karin Slaughter's novels and the short stories but these two stories were very disappointing, both in terms of content and length - should have saved my money!

First one was shocking as hell! Second one: quite sentimental. But I enjoyed every single second of reading. Thank you.
