My pre-ordered copy of Karin Slaughter’s latest novel has arrived!
“Michelle Spivey jogged through the back of the store, frantically scanning each aisle for her daughter, panicked thoughts circling her brain: How did I lose sight of her I am a horrible mother my baby was kidnapped by a pedophile or a human trafficker should I flag store security or call the police or -”
The Last Widow by Karin Slaughter (2019, Harper Collins Canada)
Slaughter pulls the reader right in with the first line into a story featuring a kidnapping, a devastating explosion, and the Centre for Disease Control.
I look forward to delving into this thriller
Would you keep reading?
