I have loved reading Will Trent’s journey and especially loved his journey with Sara Linton. Sara is my favorite character. She’s smart, clever, compassionate, and an all around badass. Karin Slaughter wrote Sara to perfection. After That Night touches on a horrific incident from Sara’s as well as present day crimes very similar to hers. This story isn’t my favorite of Slaughter’s but it was still good. Overall, I would have liked to have read more of the love story with Will and Sara but I realize the story wouldn’t be nearly as interesting.

I love the characters. I have been reading Linton/Trent books for years. I like how Sara has a large part of the storyline and I love the relationships between the characters. I also love hating the bad guys. I can’t wait for the next one and am so glad I got the opportunity to listen to this one early. It was a strong 4.5 so I rounded up.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the DRC.

This book kept me hooked the whole time. Karin's books have been hit and miss with me since Pretty Girls, but her last two were absolute fire! I love her writing style. Many women are being raped and killed. Sarah's rape from long ago is somehow connected, so she, Will, Faith, and the whole crew are on a mission to find out how.


Thank you so much to #Netgalley #Karinslaughter and the publishers for this advanced copy for an honest review.

After That Night is the 11th installment in the Will Trent series, and it just reaffirms just why Karin is my favorite author of all time.

The story follows Will, Sara, and Faith as they essentially go rogue to try and solve a case that has direct ties to what happened to Sara while she was working at Grady.

This is probably Karin’s least graphically violent book, but HOLY SHIT it might be her heaviest yet!! Due to the nature of the main plot/investigation, there is a near constant focus on rape/sexual assault. CONSTANT. So keep that in mind if you decide to dive in.

As always I do recommend reading her books in order to get all the context/past characterizations/character development, but this book is probably the least spoiler-y of them all, and the things that are brought up are things you’ll learn pretty early on in the series.

Thank god Karin is so good at writing banter between the characters, because if not this would probably be the most depressing book ever written 😅 but, thankfully there are plenty of little quips, bickering, and witty banter sprinkled throughout. There were also a few bits that made me tear up because they were just so freaking sweet. These characters mean everything to me and I hope it never ends.

No one does it like Karin. I will never stop screaming her praises from the rooftops.

Thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank You Net Galley for Providing me a copy of After That Night. I always have loved Karin's books so I was super excited to read this one. I know I can always count on her writing and this one did just that. It was a super interesting story following Sara and her past and her trying to help solve a case on a certain thing that happened to her 15 years before. (No Spoilers) It was fun going back and forth and learning all this different information and also reading about Will and faith as well as they try to help solve this case.
I definitely enjoyed this one and whoever else loves Karin's books will love it too. Definitely a great well written Mystery thriller.

I felt like this was a series story so I felt kinda lost. But not lost enough to where I couldn’t enjoy it or understand what was going on. The character development was phenomenal. Karin was able to bring light to such a difficult topic and let’s virgins know they are heard and there are people who will fight for them.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon this captivating book that seemed to be everywhere. As luck would have it, I managed to secure a copy, and from the very first page, I was engrossed. The author treads a delicate line, masterfully exploring thought-provoking themes without crossing into overly disturbing territory. It's a true testament to the author's skill that they can maintain this balance so effectively.

The characters in the book are a highlight in their own right. Richly developed and beautifully complex, they breathe life into the narrative. Each turn of the page revealed new layers, making them feel like genuine individuals with their own stories to tell.

Though I regret not having experienced the previous books in the series, this installment stands strong on its own. It's a rare achievement when a book leaves you with both a sense of satisfaction and a twinge of longing, and this one certainly managed to do just that. I can't help but wonder about the adventures and stories that I missed in the preceding books, but I'm grateful to have discovered this one.

In summary, this book is a true gem. Its ability to tackle profound themes with finesse, coupled with its remarkable characters, makes it a must-read. I'm left with a sense of admiration for the author's skill and an eagerness to explore their other works

Slaughter does it again, surprise! This one a more in depth look at the traumas of Sara’s past. Fifteen years earlier, Sara was involved in a violent attack. Subsequently, she has put this behind her to lead a happy and successful night. But one night and one patient in the ER changes absolutely everything and there is a race to solve how Sara’s attack from over a decade ago is connected. Propulsive and hard to put down, a must read in the Will Trent series (but aren’t they all?!)

A huge thank you to William Morrow, Netgalley, and Karin Slaughter for an advance copy of After That Night in exchange for an honest review. YOU GUYS, QUEEN KARIN DOES IT AGAIN! I am a through Will Trent stan and this latest installment in the series definitely didnt disappoint. Slaughter has an amazing way of weaving different storylines together and tis book was a prime example of this. This one is available now and YOU NEED TO PICK IT UP!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn’t realize when I requested this that is book 11 in a series 🤣 I was just excited for a new Karen Slaughter book. All in all, it was excellent. The pace moves quick, it’s engaging, etc. it has similar themes to some of her other books I have read, especially with fathers and sons being part of an abusive and rapist ring.

One qualm was the confusion and linking of the characters, which is completely on me and my lack of realization this is deep into a series. The second was - how did no one know Will was Sara’s fiancé? They obviously kept tabs on her but no one knew?

Recommended.

I normally love Karen's books but this one was so hard to get through. It dragged and I was constantly looking to see where I was in the book (which is never a good sign). Definitely a slow burn, and I mean slooooooow. Not her best work to be honest. A lot of repeating throughout the story. I think if it was a bit shorter of a book and not as long, it would have helped.

I loved this dark and twisty thriller.
I loved reading False Witness and Pieces Of Her so seeing this one come up I knew I wanted to read or listen to Karin Slaughter's latest. I had not tried the Will Trent series before needless to sav I have now ordered the first two books and am eager to dive in !
We begin with Dr Sara Linton giving evidence at a trial of an incident in her ER that happened 3 years prior.
The similarities between the case she is testifying at and an attack on her 15 ears before start Sara and her partner Will on an investigation of all these crimes - first on the side then as an official investigation. loved the cast of characters. Slaughter writes fully rounded, plausible people who all have their own demons but also an innate sense of right and wrong with the need to provide justice for innocent victims.
This book worked as a stand-alone for me even though it is the 11th book within the Will Trent series, but as already mentioned I now want to read the rest. This was dark and twisty and I was captivated. Fantastic reading!

Dani give Sara information that ends up with Sara called to testify in a civil case against a young man, son of a well known local surgeon, accused of the crime.

While on a break in the trial, Sara meets up with the young man's mother (who is also someone she knew 15 years ago) who drunkenly says that this and Sara's assault are connected.

Sara, her fiance/Special Agent Will, and his partner Faith begin to investigate and it's clear people don't want this information coming out.

This one had me on the edge of my seat and I'm certain I gasped a time or two!

Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Karin Slaughter reigns supreme as the queen of crime thrillers. I have actually not yet read any other Will Trent books, but I love that they work well as standalones for those who feel the huge series list can be daunting. This book had me hooked from the start and I truly did not return to my normal life until it was finished (apologies to my dogs, husband, and job..lol) I will definitely be going back and reading more Will Trent and Slaughter's other titles because i did not want this to end!

Another wonderful installment of the Will Trent and Sara Linton series. I love, love, love these characters, and while the situations they seem to find themselves in are increasingly bizarre, I'm here for all of it! I enjoyed the deeper delve into Sara's past experience, the character-building of even Amanda, and look forward to the next book, when Will and Sara get married - probably with a murder or two in the building!

I absolutely loved this one! We finally got the answers we’ve all been waiting for about Sara’s past and it seems like this could be the end of this series and it makes me so sad. I could read about Will and Sara forever - they are one of my favorite couples. I love how seamlessly Karin incorporates medical jargon into the book and it doesn’t even matter if you are in the medical field. She makes it so easy to understand what’s going on anyways. Once again - she has outdone herself and I am hoping we get more from Will Trent!

4 ⭐️

This is my second book by Karin Slaughter I think? But I will still be reading more books by her hehehe. There are TW associated with this book so please search them before proceeding. I recommend reading her other books in series to understand the book better and I will say the content is pretty heavy but less gory and violent than her other book like the Pretty Girls. Has great writing and the book was kind of slow at first but the pacing catches on and I was like omg.


Thank you Netgalley and William Morrow , for this e-book ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Sara is a doctor who is happily engaged to Will who is a police officer. Sara is working the trauma ER one night (which is weird cause shes in peds) when a young girl comes in after being attacked. Sara works to save her and promises to help find who did this. All of this brings up Sara’s own past rape and how these two events are tied together. With Will and his partner, Faith, they go to work trying to find out who is doing this and how to prove it.

As I said before, I didn’t know this was a series until I started this one which is #11 in the series. 😳 It was easy to follow and I didn’t feel lost at all. I do think it would be cool to have the background from all of the books but it worked perfectly fine reading this one on it’s own. I really enjoyed this author and hope to read more in the future. I like police procedural books and enjoyed the crazy ride this one went on. It is heavy and I don’t normally talk triggers but this is all about multiple rapes so be aware of that going in. I loved Will and Sara together and thought Faith was also a great character. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks @netgalley and the publisher for an arc for review.

Loved this book so dang much. I love that you don't need to read all of the books in this series to understand it all perfectly. I loved how it all tied together. I loved the MC and her determination. This is one of my favs from Karin Slaughter. Highly recommend!

There are no words to describe how phenomenal any of Karin Slaughter's books are. I will say, they are not for the faint of heart and they can be intense, but they are SO GOOD. The story lines never miss and she keeps you on the edge of your seat. I also enjoy that this is part of a huge series, but as someone newer to her work, I can read it as a standalone and not be confused. Highly HIGHLY recommend her work, just always read any trigger warnings available to be as prepared as possible.
