Pretty Girls (Slaughter) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
A hell-raising thriller that departs from [Slaughter's] previous soft-boiled investigative procedurals.... [Pretty Girls is] a genuinely exciting narrative driven by strong-willed female characters who can't wait around until the boys shake the lead out of their shoes.
Marilyn Stasio - New York Times Book Review


Claire Scott, the heroine of this gripping standalone..., thought she knew everything about her architect husband, Paul, but her posh Atlanta life is turned upside down when he’s fatally stabbed in an alley.... [An] unsettling tale.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) Slaughter's stand-alone novel packs a heck of a wallop, and while it's a powerful thriller, it's also a deft look into a family forced to confront horrific tragedy. Slaughter's longtime fans will be thrilled. New readers will be hooked on this twisted tale from page one. —Kristin Centorcelli, Denton, TX
Library Journal


(Starred review.)  Once she's plunged you into this maelstrom, Slaughter shreds your own nerves along with those of the sisters.... The results are harrowing. Slaughter is so uncompromising in following her blood trails to the darkest places imaginable that she makes most of her high-wire competition look pallid, formulaic, or just plain fake.
