    1. It is tragic but its also empowering in a way. Slaughter’s books are super intense psychological thrillers. Some people can’t handle the intensity even I have to take a break from her work when I’m down in the dumps because her thrillers will take you on a razor sharp ride! Thanks for the feedback!
