A new series by one of my favorite authors is always a huge treat. This one starts out in the past and progresses to the present. Secrets, lies and evil are present in every page. Small towns are not always warm and cozy because there are bad people everywhere. Emmy a police officer has felt guilty for years. She feels like she could have done more when two teenagers went missing and the worst happened. This is a suspenseful mystery that has a shocking ending. Like all this authors books there

This book is the first of her new series. While it was entertaining and emotional, it wasn't really thrilling or fast-paced. I had actually guessed who the bad guy was early on. I am also surprised at the errors in the book. Karin Slaughter is a well- known author and should be able to afford an editor. If you've read all of her books like I have, just know that this one isn't as good as her Will or Jeffrey books. Hopefully, the next one in this series ends up being thrilling and fast-paced. 🤞

Karin Slaughter is the very best kind of author. I was devastated when I realized that her new books were not to be about Will Trent. I was enamored with his life and his stories. So, I stubbornly refused to buy this first book, We Are All Guilty Here. I didn't want to meet new characters. I was so wrong. I waited a year to buy it. As always, her characters are incredibly vibrant and alive. I have already begun the second in this new series. Karin does not give us what we want, but what we need.
