Wow this is an incredible read.

What a great read Karin it's one of the best Physiological Thriller writers or they're and this is proof of that.. 2 teenagers go missing and all hands are on hand hunting week we've read this before but not the Karin way it's not only one encounter this is a story of 2 halves and yet its all one story. The twists are awesome you will not see them coming and they blow the story in ways your not imagining that's how a Physiological Thriller should be and this is.

The hard nut detectives but not Hollywood style this is great the town is run by the family it's named after and they have the mixture of issues that drive each other up the wall and back but they have each others backs arnhem needed but not in private. Read it that will make sense. The past is always there and when the story twists with another disappearance (that's not the twist no spoilers here) things go up another level. .

This is a great great read I loved every page the suspense the characters the storyline am as captivating as each other this is a mixer read for all fans of Physiological Thrillers you will love it. Not enough stars available sorry I can only give it 5 its deserves a lot more.

Karin Slaughter at her best, Excellent writing with twists and turns galore.

No ones family is perfect and it is good to live in a small place but everyone thinks they know everyone's else's business.

Is the vicar guilty, or the dentist, or the school teacher? This book is an excellent page turner.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this novel early.

On Fourth of July, the whole town of North Falls comes to the park for the fireworks. However, under the cover of the fireworks, something more sinister happens - two local girls disappear, and the town is left reeling.

For Deputy Emmy Lou Clifton, it becomes more personal - one of the girls tried to speak to her before she disappeared, and the secrets she tried to impart could have been what brought so much danger to her door.

This is a fantastic standalone book, where the twists keep coming and the characters are fully fleshed out. An easy 5* book.

This reminds why Slaughter is one of my favourite Authors, her writing style pulls you in with a captivating, no-holds-barred plot with well written characters you can empathise and sympathise with.
I liked Emmy, her attitude and all her flaws and the stories twists and turns kept me involved in guessing who the perpetrator was.
I hope there are more books set in North Falls!

Compelling. Highly recommended.
We’re All Guilty Here is a gripping, psychological thriller set in the small, seemingly idyllic town of North Falls. When two teenage girls go missing after a fireworks display, the town is thrust into chaos. The once tight-knit community begins to unravel as deep secrets are exposed, and the search for the missing girls becomes a race against time. This novel skillfully blends suspense with a powerful exploration of guilt, secrets, and the complexities of human nature.
The story revolves around Officer Emmy Clifton, a dedicated police officer with a personal connection to the case. After the disappearance of two teenage girls, Emmy becomes embroiled in the investigation, feeling the weight of guilt for not having been there when her best friend's daughter needed help. As she delves deeper into the case, Emmy discovers that the girls, who appeared to be typical teenagers, were hiding dark secrets that no one—least of all the people who thought they knew them best—could have imagined.
The investigation unfolds in a small town that seems like the perfect setting for a mystery, where everyone knows everyone, yet no one truly knows anyone. As Emmy unravels the truth, the lines between right and wrong blur, and she faces difficult decisions that could change the course of her life forever.
We’re All Guilty Here is a compelling and intricately woven thriller that will keep readers hooked from start to finish. Karin Slaughter’s ability to combine suspense, emotional depth, and a richly developed setting makes this novel a standout in the psychological thriller genre. The story’s exploration of guilt, secrets, and the complexities of human relationships gives it a weight that goes beyond the typical crime novel. Fans of slow-burn mysteries with complex characters and intricate plotting will find this book a rewarding read.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK Harper Fiction for giving me an advance copy.

Dropped everything to read this from one of my favourite authors and I have no regrets!

The way the book starts is so well done, I was practically sweating with the descriptions of the weather and the way the ‘incident’ is introduced is tense and brilliant.

The characters are so well done, endearing and flawed. I couldn’t put this down and if you like a good crime thriller you won’t be able to either.

WOW, what a book! It kept me guessing until the end. It was dark, thrilling and gripping. I read this is one sitting as I was completely hooked. What an ending. This is perfect for psychological thriller fans!

It had many curveballs that made my head just spin! It deserves way more than 5 stars as it is a must-read book!

Everyone needs to pre-order this book you won’t regret it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars

Look, I will always read a Karin Slaughter book.

We are all guilty here was an absolute banger for me. Emmy lou is a great character and I love how involved she gets with the cases she works. I did not see the whodunnit coming, though I was able to guess one of the twists in regards to Emmy Lou.
All in All, another amazing read and I would highly recommend this

Yet another 5* read from this accomplished author. Two teenage girls disappear. A father and daughter head a frantic police search complicated by a town populated by unsavoury residents and regular church going families hiding under the umbrella of respectability all hiding secret lives that cannot be revealed to assist in any investigation for witnesses. Fast forward 12 years and old scars and open wounds resurface with the disappearance of yet another child with a similar modus operandi to the previous abduction.. Higher police authority designates an FBI agent experienced in child abductions and serial killers to joint the search as a consultant. Feathers are ruffled, old traumas emerge, family history explodes as time runs out for yet another victim. Fast paced investigation with excellent three dimensional characterisation and explosive conclusion that satisfies on every level. Many thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for this thrilling ARC.

Oh this book gave me quite the book hangover. I love Karin Slaughter's series. The Grant County series overlaps with the Will Trent series. The standalones are excellent. I felt some minor trepidation about a brand new series without any link to characters we've grown to know and love over a very long period of time.
I needn't have worried. Of course Karin Slaughter knows exactly what she is doing and has written an intense tale of the effect of crime within a small community and the suffocating impact on relationships, friendships and families. The main characters shine and never feel anything less than 3 dimensional.
The story begins with a murder and years later leads to a very similar crime scene. Is it a copycat? Is it the murderer striking again? As a reader you're taken along for the ride. All of my predictions were wrong and I very much enjoyed the unpredictability of the story as layer after layer was peeled back and the secrets of the characters within were laid bare. I cannot wait for the next one in the series. An automatic must-buy for me.

We Are All Guilty Here is a stunning new thriller from Karin Slaughter. Set in the small Georgia town of North Falls, the heart of Clifton County, this is dark and chilling with a cast of characters who have many secrets.

Clifton County was founded by the Clifton family, and its various branches still run the show. Officer Emmy Clifton is the daughter of the long time sheriff and related to many in positions of power. When two young girls go missing she investigates. One is the daughter of her best friend, so this is personal. What she doesn't know is that the case will change her entire life.

This is a well plotted book with nuanced characters. Everyone thinks they know each other in North Falls, but do they? And even when the case is finally solved there are more secrets to be revealed. This one grips until the very last page - and leaves the reader desperate for more. It's simply a must read.

Thanks to Netgalley for the book, I love Karin Slaughter but usually I only read her Will Trent books. Now that I've read this one, I'm going to start reading her other books for sure.
This one was full of twists and complex female characters, I really loved it. It wasn't an easy read but the last Will Trent was also a tought one. So, if you are familiar with her work, this is not going to be a surprise.

A emotional, heartbreaking start to a brand new crime police procedural. The characters are so well written that I felt like I have known them my whole life. The case while hard to read is sadly all too real. The plot had my heart pounding with dread and anticipation at the same time. I love how we get into all the crannies of the case before it is solved. I am excited to continue reading this series!

I have read all of Karin Slaughter's back catalogue, so was thrilled to be selected to read this ARC. This is yet another masterpiece, packed with thrilling twists and turns. I was intrigued from the very start of the book, and recommend it to all.

For context, I started reading this 6 days before Xmas so possibly the worst time of the year to find any spare time to sit and read amongst all the hubub of the season and yet here we are on the 21st, after a night of not sleeping, a day of squirreling away to read every spare second instead of running Xmas errands on the last sat before Xmas and I think that's says absolutely everything! I started and instantly was hooked. I love Karin Slaughter and have long followed the grant county series and such so I wasn't sure if I'd be quite so invested in new characters but omg! I could not get enough. This book is what all other thriller/ crime/ domestic noirs aspire to be. Its perfectly plotted out with twists and turns. It had multiple timelines but I loved that it didn't mix them which I feel like is the standard way to write these days. You have back in the day playing out and then cut to present and it was just so refreshing to not be jumping back and forth. The characters were amazing they were so realistic and human. I cried..... not gonna lie lol. I can easily say this will be one of the best books you'll read all 2025. The plot is fresh, original, so easy to get lost in and as much as it is complex woth multiple characters and things going on, it never gets muddy or confusing about who is who. I really hope this is the start of a new series because I would absolutely love to spend more time with the Cliftons!!! A must read
