APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
American author Karin Slaughter’s After That Night is a relentless and intricate thriller, examining trauma, resilience and the enduring echoes of past crimes. In the eleventh instalment of the Will Trent series, diligent medical examiner Sara Linton, Will's fiancée, faces the shadows of her past as a sexual assault survivor. Together with Investigator Faith Mitchell, she launches a covert investigation to unearth any connections between her assault and more recent victims. The narrative twists around itself like a maze, and Slaughter's masterful handling of the themes of victimhood, survival and societal failings make this equal parts gripping fiction and commentary on the dark corners of our society. Underpinned by a tangible sense of righteous anger, After That Night strikes a chilling chord that resonates long after its conclusion.
