It was more recently (2018) that I decided to read both her GRANT COUNTY and WILL TRENT series in chronological order. A few were re-reads but even those were exceptionally entertaining. Slaughter quickly ascended to the list of my top five authors on the planet Earth. I was “blown away” by the sheer power of Slaughter’s works, and as I commented in a review of her debut novel BLINDSIGHTED [2001] she is the author that set the new gold standard for excellence. I had already read the entire WILL TRENT series before I began the earlier GRANT COUNTY books. She did not stop writing after half a dozen novels, or continue to write but with diminishing returns. We refer to "Early Cornwell", "Early Patterson", "Early Koontz".. and at least in my case "Early Stephen King" for a reason. The NYT Bestseller PRETTY GIRLS was released six years ago but it was the first standalone novel I’ve read by Karin Slaughter. It was so riveting that I would have stayed up all night to finish it if I hadn’t had commitments. Even so, I finished it in two sittings. I absolutely LOVED it. That was hardly a surprise to me. I have commented in the past that I become so completely mesmerized by her novels that I become almost oblivious to my immediate environment. I think there could be a tornado roaring like a train, a home invasion in progress, or a house fire blazing and I would still be holding my Kindle in a death grip reading her words and turning pages. She has the power to invoke what I like to refer to as “immediacy”. As a reader I feel like I am right there in the moment. This doesn’t need to be a long or wordy review. desertcart has logged 8642 ratings so heaven only knows how many readers rated this bestseller on Goodreads. I just looked it up and the answer is a whopping 205,017 (to include 18,548 reviews)! Tess Gerritsen, also among my top five favorite writers, commented that Slaughter is “One of the boldest thriller writers working today”. Translated that means that Slaughter does in fact “write with a razor” and her characters and scenes cut to the quick. If a reader doesn’t want to encounter raw realism and brutal reality, then stay away from Slaughter. Her works slice to the bone and deliver a visceral punch to the gut and a precordial thump to the heart that sends our emotions in freefall. Like Gillian Flynn has been quoted so often “I’d follow her anywhere”. I have to read the rest of her standalone works on my Kindle. I intentionally wanted to parse them out to prolong the thrill, but PRETTY GIRLS was so d--- great I’m not sure I can wait. The most impressive characteristic of Karin Slaughter’s works IMO is that the creative genius she possesses does not seem to give any indication of waning. Her ability to take the reader into the darkest most depraved minds and acts of sadistic predation on women sets her apart from anyone writing today. She doesn’t hesitate to “pull the trigger” on the sickest and most shocking scenes with forensic details that are not for everyone. Slaughter’s peers are writing crime fiction that tackles the same underlying theme of violent crimes against women, and their works include riveting thrillers that knock my socks off. It isn’t that the works of giants like Gerritsen and prolific authors like Hoag cannot deliver the goods on this theme. There is just “something” about Slaughter that goes where no mainstream crime fiction queen has gone before. Gerritsen called it “bold” and I think that’s putting it mildly. I have to say as I am ready to post my own “two cents worth” that I am surprised by not only the number of negative reviews I see but also by their relevant fervor about the visceral impact and graphic depiction of violence in PRETTY GIRLS. This is a small percentage of readers when you consider the whole of course. In any case, I find it annoying those readers post reviews saying they cannot bear to finish the book…that there ought to be warnings about the content, and so on. Good heavens. If you don’t want your emotions and your sensibilities to be stripped raw then don’t read Karin Slaughter’s works. Review: Heavy Topics. Deep Secrets. Dark & Twisted. - This story dives headfirst into the darkest corners of human cruelty, grief, and obsession, and it does so with a slow intensity that can be genuinely difficult to read at times. The exploration of sisterhood and loss is powerful, grounding the violence in real emotional stakes rather than shock value alone. The pacing is strong, the twists are effective, and the mystery keeps you turning pages even when you desperately want to look away. That said, the graphic content might makes this a challenging read for more sensitive readers, and at times that could overshadow the emotional core of the story. For me, it was a compelling, well-crafted thriller—but one that demands a strong stomach and the right headspace. If you’re a fan of dark, unflinching crime thrillers that explore trauma and survival without sugarcoating the horror, Pretty Girls delivers. Disturbing, gripping, and unforgettable—just know what you’re walking into. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00VES8D6K | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #282 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #6 in Serial Killer Thrillers #16 in Crime Thrillers (Kindle Store) #27 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (155,004) | | Edition | Reprint | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 3.6 MB | | ISBN-10 | 9780062429063 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062429063 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 410 pages | | Publication date | September 29, 2015 | | Publisher | William Morrow | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Pretty Girls - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UWGF8ckdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STANDALONE BESTSELLING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM SLAUGHTER A HOME RUN!!! *by P***1 on July 7, 2021* PRETTY GIRLS [2015] By Karin Slaughter My Review Five Stars***** I was already a fan of Karin Slaughter's novels two decades ago when I was renting books on tape to “read” during the extensive driving that was required by my job at the time.

Disturbing, gripping, and unforgettable—just know what you’re walking into. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark, Twisted, Unforgettable! *by J***N on February 20, 2026* I don’t even know how to properly explain how much Pretty Girls kept me hanging on! Karen Slaughter wrote something that is so dark and disturbing, but also so emotional and deeply human. This isn’t just a thriller. It’s about the secrets families carry and what happens when the truth finally comes out. I felt so invested in the sisters and their relationship. It felt messy and real. The resentment, the distance, the love that never fully disappears. You can feel their pain on every page. And when the truth starts unraveling? I could not put it down. I stayed up way too late because I had to know. Even down loaded the audio for my car rides. Fair warning: it’s intense. There are parts that make you stop to take a breath, parts that make you pause and say, wait..........what?!?!. It's shock in all the best ways. The twists hit hard, and the emotional payoff is worth every uncomfortable moment. This book made me tense, teary eyed, angry, in awe, and completely hooked. If you like thrillers that actually make you feel the emotions of the characters, not just guess “whodunnit”, this one stays with you long after you finish. I also really appreciated the ending. It didn’t just cut off or leave you hanging for the sake of being dramatic. It brought everything full circle. It tied the past and present together in a way that felt complete and intentional. After such a heavy, layered story, that kind of closure mattered. Karen Slaughter really did that with this one! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/104369257-pretty-girls](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/104369257-pretty-girls) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
