Review: After That Night

A harrowing new crime dredges up Sarah Linton’s traumatic past in this latest Will Trent installment.

Dr. Sarah Linton battles to save a young woman who’s been brutally attacked and raped. A whispered promise to bring those responsible to justice means Sarah is tied up in a months-long trial — the accused, the son of a couple she knows all too well. Everything takes an unexpected turn however, when the culprit’s mother confesses to Sarah —

“What happened to you. What happened to Dani. It’s all connected.”

With no choice but to re-open old wounds, Sarah, together with her fiancé Will and his GBI partner, Faith, dig into a string of rapes that echo her past. Worse yet, it becomes clear it’s all far from over in the present.

As expected, Karin Slaughter delivers a propulsive, high-stakes thriller that is as horrifying as it is hopeful. It’s a new favorite in the series, underscored by the unshakable bonds between the characters we love, which buoy the weight of a narrative steeped in the violence and horror of its crimes. If you’re looking for the kind of thriller impossible to put down, look no further.
