Dr Sara Linton has to testify in a civil trial about a rape and it takes her down a trail of her past and the present. Arc from NetGalley.

I always enjoy diving into the world with Will Trent. There’s just something about this cast of characters that has my heart and I’m always going to come back for more. This one is pretty intense and has a decent amount of triggers connected to it, including SA, which is something to be aware of before going in as it plays a huge part in this entire storyline. With that being said, I think that the subject matter was handled well and done in a way that allows us to see it from not only the law enforcement view, but the medical and victims point of view as well. It lets us into the minds of everyone involved in the process and it’s interesting. The way it ends is a bit abrupt and it didn’t feel very satisfying after everything that happened, but I guess that’s how it goes in actual cases sometimes too. Either way, if you like the Will Trent series, this is a solid installment and I recommend.

As always, Karin Slaughter continues to disturb and fascinate.
This addition to the Will Trent series only solidifies my love for her deeply upsetting plot points.
I hate to say it's incredibly important to go back to the beginning with the Grant County series and go through all the Will Trent books to have the satisfying conclusion to some years long mysteries.

This series only gets better and better

I love this series and Will Trent is one of my favorite characters. Karin Slaughter does a good job of building up the tension to the point where I can't put the book down until I finish it. My only complaint is that Sara is getting younger with each book. When she was first introduced in Blindsighted, she was a few years older than me. Now she is about fifteen years younger than me.

Karin Slaughter’s After That Night, the latest in the Will Trent series, left me cold. The novel dives into the lives of Sara Linton, Will Trent, and Faith Mitchell as they navigate a chilling web of privilege and abuse in Atlanta’s elite circles.

Fifteen years after Sara’s own trauma, she witnesses the death of a young woman named Dani Cooper, whose brutal assault draws eerie parallels to Sara’s own and she must confront her demons once again.

Despite the promising premise, I found myself unable to connect with the story. The narrative felt overly long and failed to maintain my interest beyond the halfway mark. Some readers may find the twists intriguing, I struggled to engage with the characters or their motivations.

While the audiobook narration added a commendable layer to the experience, it wasn't enough to overcome my overall dissatisfaction. The novel’s excessive violence and disturbing themes left me unsettled. For readers sensitive to sexual violence, I strongly advise caution, as it is a central theme throughout.

Overall, After That Night didn’t live up to my expectations of Slaughter’s gripping storytelling. While it may appeal to fans of police procedurals and intense psychological dramas, it simply wasn’t the right fit for me. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

** Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a review copy. The opinions are my own.

Sorry that it took so long before I read this book. Well written, with a lot going on. I immediately started reading her newer book after I finished this one. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

"After that Night" is a novella by Karin Slaughter that is part of the Grant County series. In this story, Dr. Sara Linton, a pediatrician and medical examiner, finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation that hits close to home. As she delves into the case, Sara uncovers dark secrets and dangerous truths that put her own life at risk.

The novella explores themes of justice, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships, all set against the backdrop of a small town with its own share of secrets and scandals.

After That Night is Karin Slaughter's 11th Will Trent novel, and this is the work of a thriller writer in complete control of plotting, pacing and characterization. Beginning to end, Slaughter keeps the tension taut and the pacing propulsive. This roller-coaster ride kept me riveted, terrified, and ultimately satisfied.

Another great book from slaughter! I love the will Trent series and this one did not disappoint. The characters are deep and the story is always so dark and twisty. Thank you netgalley for my free review copy.

I flew thru this book and loved the story. I love how Sara was able to overcome her past to try to help Dani.

Give me all the Karin Slaughter books you can. I love the way Karin's mind works and her story telling ability is just amazing.
This was a Great Will Trent novel. I love getting back to the start of Sara's story and learning more about her. I would recommend this

I love Karin Slaughter. This book wasn’t my favorite by them, but I still devoured it. I love a good thriller and this one definitely did not disappoint! I highly recommend!

Karin Slaughter maintains her HOME RUN status with this latest installment in her Will Trent Series!! I am always so sad when I reach The End of Ms. Slaughters stories because I don't want to say goodbye to my friends who I won't see until the next book! Its a MUST READ!!

amazing book and well written. i couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to get to the ending. well rounded character and an entertaining plot.

After That Night is well written, well thought out, perfectly paced and riveting. Karin Slaughter does not shy away from brutal scenes or discussions which make her books feel even more real to me. Slaughter not only shows readers the effect that rape has on victims but shows predators as well. Her books may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love them!

I have been reading her books for years and she continues to deliver time and time again! This book had a nice number of twists, turns and revelations in addition to the tension which snowballed as the book progressed.

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a fantastic job.

Well written, gripping, shocking, tense, and hard to put down!

'After That Night' by Karin Slaughter is a solid mystery, true crime novel. A nice addition to the Will Trent series.

The writing is solid, creating a vivid atmosphere, but the plot is a mix of captivating moments and predictability. Characters are well-developed, though some lack depth. Pacing fluctuates, making it a decent but not outstanding read.

I've been a fan of Karin Slaughter for years and am always happy to get a new release from her. Love Sarah and Will and the rest of the crew and hope she continues with these characters!

After that Night is such a great novel! I have not read any of the other Will Trent novels, and had no issues reading this one as a stand-alone novel. The story follows Sara Linton, Will Trent & Faith as they search to find the connection between Sara's rape 15 years ago and a rape case that Sara is testifying for. Along the way there are many twists and turns and continuous suspense.
Be warned: there is graphic mention about rape & sexual assault and at times I needed to put the book away as I was so emotional.
Karin Slaughter does a fantastic job on this story, and I will be sure to read more of the Will Trent books!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

▪️After Sarah, a doctor, has to testify in court about a rape case, she realizes there are many similarities to her rape. There are too many to ignore. Could there be others?

▪️From there, a twisted, dark story unfurls. Who is responsible for these rapes?

▪️After That Night, is so intense and such a good read. The lowdown creepiness of the predatory characters is appalling. Karin leads us through a story of greed and arrogance passed from generation to generation. What comes to pass are several rapes and murders with similarities that can’t be overlooked.

▪️There are some surprising outcomes that really put my mind in overdrive. So many unlikable characters, but also some who I could root for. The story is straightforward and frank, without describing the nitty gritty parts in detail.

💕Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing this ebook for me to read and review.
