In her latest book, PRETTY GIRLS, New York Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter has adjusted her perspective ever so slightly, resulting in a thoroughly captivating page-turner that reads like a Southern Gothic novel mixed with a modern, edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller.

While PRETTY GIRLS does take place in and around Atlanta, the book's main characters are not the individual's paid to investigate crimes, but instead are people impacted by crimes who take it upon themselves to get to the bottom of a deeply-personal mystery.
