An instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

The first thrilling mystery in the new North Falls series from Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Girls and the Will Trent Series.

Welcome to North Falls—a small town where everyone knows everyone. Or so they think.

Until the night of the fireworks. When two teenage girls vanish, and the town ignites.

For Officer Emmy Clifton, it’s personal. She turned away when her best friend's daughter needed help—and now she must bring her home.

But as Emmy combs through the puzzle the girls left behind, she realizes she never really knew them. Nobody did.

Every teenage girl has secrets. But who would kill for them? And what else is the town hiding?

"Karin Slaughter's new series starts with a book that is a knock-out punch...My God. Sign me up for more." — Dervla McTiernan, #1 internationally bestselling author of What Happened to Nina?

Editorial Review

Small town, big secrets
Karin Slaughter is one of those authors I always turn to when I want a story that completely pulls me in. We Are All Guilty Here focuses on a small Southern town in the United States where a violent crime sends shockwaves through a community full of secrets. I’m intrigued that this isn’t just a whodunit, but more of a “what did we all do?” I’ve got a feeling it will leave us questioning everything—and talking about it long after. Expect a slow-burn suspense that packs a serious emotional punch. If you loved Pieces of Her or Pretty Girls, this one should already be in your wish list. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

I had many theories as to where this was going but I WAS WRONG! I live here writing I was so submerged in this story I couldn’t get enough of it. It felt real, especially cause it was happening in real time haha! Thank you Karin Slaughter.

I think I have found my fave author

The first half was exciting and intricate. The word play was funny and chilling. The second half seemed like so much of a repeat. So many story lines were re-visited I wondered if I had lost my place and gone backwards.

Writing was excellent.

That was a great book!!! I couldn’t put it down! I literally had my headphones on at work to be able to hear the next piece of the book! Excellent writing!

The plot twist was amazing. The writing was even better.

I'll admit that the amount of characters was a bit difficult for me to keep track of, but I enjoyed the twists and turns.

Nice wrap up

This was a GREAT book! Karin Slaughter has become one of my favorite authors. She has an incredible writing style. The characters and storyline are both complex and captivating with twist and turns that keep you engaged from beginning to end. I love the movement through time in this book and how she develops the case by circling back to the beginning. The introduction to the new character in the second half brought to light history and personal details to help build the background of Emmy and the Clifton family. Kathleen Early is a wonderful narrator and brings the characters to life! I can’t wait for more to come in the new North Falls series.

Captivating!!
