Author: Karin Slaughter

I’m not sure who suggested this book to me but I’m certainly glad they did. I could not put it down; I went to bed one night after reading a section, turned the light out, and after an hour when I couldn’t stop thinking about it I started to read again.

A gunman enters a mall cafeteria with the intention of killing his ex-girlfriend and her mother. He then expects to be shot by the police. But Laura, also a mother, steps in to save her daughter. The manner in which she deals with the gunman and her actions afterward lead her daughter, Andy, to search for the secrets her mother has been hiding.
