This was my first Karin Slaughter book and what an introduction!  Talk about disturbing. Thorn in my side is the story of uber-twin brothers and I can't say any more about that fact or I'll ruin the story for new readers. I'll just say that I was totally taken off guard, and then spent the rest of this short story vacillating between morbid curiosity, and horror.Murder is hardly the worse thing that happens in this highly original short story. Wayne and Kirk are brothers, not identical twins, but closer, though they are in fact totally opposite from one another. How they deal with the world is the fascinating part of the story, and one that Slaughter handles beautifully. It takes an exceptional writer to go down the road she travels so fearlessly, pulling off the amazing feat of giving us the story if these two brothers. Bravo to Karin Slaughter for taking on such a controversial subject and allowing us into the heads of these remarkable brothers.
