Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of October 2015: Karin Slaughter's new stand-alone novel grabs you from the start and doesn't let go - even after you turn the final page. While taking a break from her popular Will Trent and Sara Linton series, but staying true to form, Slaughter presents readers with a new set of complex characters masterfully woven together in Pretty Girls, a psychological thriller about a family torn apart by (almost) unspeakable tragedy. From the mind-blowing character of Paul, to the sweet and sensitive perspective of Julia's father, Slaughter leaves nothing left to be desired. There were more than a few times while reading Pretty Girls where I stopped myself, mid-page, taken aback - not just from the dark and twisted storyline unfolding before me, but also by the realization of how much I was loving every word. This book is certainly disturbing at times, shocking at others, and scary enough to have you checking over your shoulder while you read late into the night, unable to put it down. -- Penny Mann

Unbelievable plot; graphic sexual sadism
By sb-lynn
This story starts off with a letter written by a grief-stricken father to his missing teenage daughter. She had disappeared years earlier under very suspicious circumstances but the police were in doubt whether or not she had been just a runaway.
We soon find out that the missing girl was named Julia and she had two sisters. After Julia disappeared, her family seemed to fall apart. The older sister Lydia had gone on to a life filled with drugs and alcohol and she became alienated from the younger sister named Claire, who went on to marry a successful yet odd man she had known from school. The parents had divorced and the mother remarried. The father had dedicated his life to search for the missing Julia.
As the story goes on, Claire and Lydia reunite and go on to try to solve the mystery of their sister Julia's disappearance. In order to do this, they must throw out all their preconceived ideas about their past and about the people who are supposed to be on their side, helping them.
I read a book by this author several years ago and thought she showed some good writing chops, even though for my taste it had too much graphic violence. For some reason I thought this book was going to be a little different but instead the pornography and explicit violence were just off the charts. I am not a prude when it comes to reading about this sort of thing and I have read and enjoyed many books about serial killers and their ilk - but this one felt so gratuitous and been-done-before.
Putting aside my discomfort with that aspect, what did I think about the story? I never bought into it at all. I've been in the criminal justice field for all of my professional life and this story was just...ridiculous - full of coincidences, nonsensical cabals, plot contrivances and people who are supposed to have brains acting like they don't have any.
The women in this book often act feisty and and talk sassy even when it's in their self-interest to behave otherwise. Their actions seemed so self-destructive and foolishly impulsive and the author really had to stretch the logic to make them do what they did, without their seeking proper help. The main villain? I get it, he was a true sexual psychopath - but he and the whole situation with him and others never felt realistic.
What I can say in the book's behalf is that this is an author who knows how to hold a reader's interests. Aside from the difficulty I had with the believability of the plot, the author has a way with words and dialogue that feel natural and easy. I would love to read something by her that toned down the violence and didn't have the plot holes and flaws that this one does.

Worse than that
By Frank Sadowski
This will be a short review. I simply cannot believe that at the time of this review's writing, 56% of the reviewers gave it five stars. I find this to be one of the most gratuitously violent, sadistic, and misogynistic books I have ever had the misfortune to read. I have read all of Ms. Slaughter's books, and although they have been uniformly violent, this one is over the top in so many ways. Worse than that, it is a totally unrealistic and unbelievable plot, with characters whose personalities shift to fit the action. Lastly, the degradation of women as a theme is repulsive.

I did not enjoy this book simply because I am tired of writers ...
By Sarah Garner
I did not enjoy this book simply because I am tired of writers trying to come up with the most disgusting, disturbing way to rape and kill a woman. I chose this book off of the review from Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl. I did not not enjoy this book one bit.
