I am picking up reading again If you can scroll down on a phone screen for twenty minutes in bed at night, then you can also turn pages, you fool. So there I went, devouring ’Splintered‘, the latest flagship of Karin Slaughter. The Karin Slaughter that I had never read anything from. I can say it's embarrassing.

Long story short? Andrea knows her mother inside out. But when the restaurant where she goes to lunch with her mom comes under fire, she suddenly sees a whole different side of her. The coolness with which her mother overpowers and kills the shooter astonishes Andrea. This is so horrifically clever and well-written. This woman is a genius. True, you have to sit down for it (almost 500 pages), but the ride is definitely worth it. A round of applause for Karin. And people, get that book in your house, really.
