For the past few weeks, I have been on a crime, thriller, mystery book kick. I listen to one or two audio books a week, and lately, I have been listening to one Karin Slaughter book after another.

They’re awful.

Awful in that the stories are harsh, devastating, scary, gruesome, troubling, worrisome, and gross.

Terrible.

The storytelling is fantastic. The audio narration is wonderful.

Last week, I listened to Pretty Girls. This morning, finished The Good Daughter. This afternoon, I’ll start False Witness.

Then I’ll likely need a light rom-com.
