First off, don’t let the 381 pages shock you, the font used is larger than most hardcovers so it will be a quick read. Second, don’t be thrown by the authors use of the name Karin Slaughter as a character in the book, it was an interesting way to introduce the term “Googleganger”.
A long thought dead war criminal “the butcher of Djoba”, and three missing teachers from a prestigious high school have Lindsay and Joe running all over San Francisco. What no one knew at the time was one of these seemingly innocent teachers has a secret, actually more than one, but as the story unfolds their background unfold with it. Add in a woman sitting beside Joe’s car hoping for help when no one else will listen. Quickly two seemingly unrelated stories will be tied together if they can get the butcher to commit a crime. Not just any crime, a crime that will give entry to his past and give Lindsay, Joe, and the rest of the Women’s Murder Club an entrance into a brutal piece of history.
What James Patterson and Maxine Paetro unfold will not be for the squeamish. This is a brutal book that visibly lays bare war crimes. You cannot help but have a visceral reaction to the pictures that are drawn with words that leave a lasting impression. So be warned, this book goes a little deeper than their usual fluff, a book that contains composites of real events and individuals, a book that barely conceals the true criminals that they are talking about.
