My Review:
Blonde hair, blue eyes is a prequel short story to the new Karin Slaughter novel Pretty girls. This was my first read from Slaughter but since a croatian publishing house started translating her novels and she visited Croatia, I decided to give it a shot. I am not usually one to read thrillers and misteries, I rather watch them, this was new to me. I have to say that while the writing is wonderful, I never connected with the main character Julia. And since the story is set in 1991, I liked the glimpse of the world in that time. I will read Pretty Girls because I am intrigued but this story should have been a part of the book.
