I have read many of Karin Slaughter’s full length novels and spotted that she has some ‘straight to ebook’ novella length stories available. I downloaded this and got stuck in straight away. Will Trent is a cop working under-cover but his policing instincts kick in when he’s involved in a store...
I've been reading Karin Slaughter for years and look forward to every new release. BUSTED was a quick, captivating read that let me get to know Will Trent a little better. Slaughter's writing gets stronger with each book, and this novella is no exception. It's fast-paced and tells an interesting ...
Short stand-alone ebook, very different to her usual series, but just as dark, although with a black-comedy edge. Wayne and Kirk are twins, one is shy and thoughtful, the other confident and brash; they go out to a club and Kirk picks up a prostitute, then loses him temper... I liked it but was n...
I got this book when I first got my kindle. I love Karin Slaughter and I have to say this book was twisted! But in a sad sick way it was great. The plot covers conjoined men and how they struggle to be independent of each other. After finishing this book the read is left with a moment of wow and ...
This was awful...............very strange and pretty uncomfortable reading altogether, I found. I'm pleased it was only like 33 pages long as that was more than enough.I've read Karin Slaughter before but always gave her books to charity and now I know why. I won't be bothering again.It's about 2...
Altijd goede verhalen gehoord over Karin Slaughter, toch is dit pas het eerste boek dat ik van haar lees en hij viel me erg tegen. Ik kon geen respect opbrengen voor iemand die Zich van het begin tot het eind door werkelijk iedereen laat ondersneeuwen. Bovendien is het verhaal me iets te onwerkel...
listened on library mp3. Most of the reader reviews miss the point of this novella: it's a black comedy and pretty funny at that. I wouldn't have expected Slaughter to write something like this, most of her stuff is so breathless, female-centered with "Perils of Pauline" endings. All the characte...
Martin Misunderstood is a novella by one of my favorite authors that was only released as an Audio CD. My husband and I listened to it this past weekend on a road trip because I wanted to introduce him to Karin Slaughter. It was less than 3 hours long, which turned out to be a good thing. As m...
As always, I consumed this book via Audible, however I don't think my opinion was affected by the reader. She was, in fact, very good.All of the stories in this book were about women that had been wronged in some way. Most were strong, heroic perhaps and all were dark. This in and of itself is...
A great short story by the best-selling thriller writer, Karin Slaughter!June was the principle of her high school, where she had worked for over half of her life. She was extremely rigid with her discipline, and sick of teenage girls, always rebellious, always trouble, in her mind.But June was d...
This was another first for me. It was my first crime thriller and my first book by Karin Slaughter. Is Triptych a book I would have picked out for myself? Probably not but that is the beauty of Goodreads. For the last few weeks I have been following by sweet friend Mo’s status updates and review’...
Posted to The Literary Lawyer.ca Beautiful Body that is Missing a Soul - 3.5 Stars This was my first foray into the world of Karin Slaughter. Her world is filled with interesting characters, personal drama and a fair share of deranged individuals. I did enjoy the book. The writing was very go...
I think this novel generally is realistic and true to life. It's about child sexual abuse, using the vehicle of a mystery series genre story. If you are sensitive or triggered, I wouldn't recommend reading this novel. However, if you are curious or want to be aware how sometimes sexual abuse work...
Really disliked this book, but I was in a situation where I needed a book, and it was the only one I had. A forensic patholgoist, Sara, is married to a police officer, Jefffrey. The couple has just gotten back together after having been separated and they are trying to repair their relationship...
OK, so here I am reading an eleven year old Karin Slaughter, third in the Grant County series. I read the second in the series sixteen months ago and gave it three stars so you can imagine pretty easily that I don’t remember or care what was happening then! Grab onto me Ms. Slaughter and make me ...
I loved this book! Everything that Karin Slaughter writes is amazing. Even though this is the fifth book in her Grant County series, each book can stand alone. The chief of police, Jeffery Tolliver, and his ex wife, Sara Linton are trying to rekindle their relationship. When an innocent walk arou...
He was still refusing to get onto a stretcher for his own hardheaded reasons, and every time Jeffrey tried to talk to him, Robert just shook his head, as if he could not speak. Jeffrey offered, “I’ll be by the hospital as soon as Hoss gets here.” Robert shook his head for the hundredth time. “No,...
Her cousin Hareton had joined them half an hour ago, dropping by without a phone call as usual. Hare was two years older than Sara. They had always competed in everything, which was why he had made her go out into the pouring rain to look at his brand-new BMW 750Li. How he could afford such a lux...
He heard Angie’s voice echo in his head. It’s me, baby. Did you miss me? Was this the Xanax? Will looked at his phone. CALLER ID BLOCKED. He sat up. He looked around the chapel like Angie might be there. Watching him. Laughing at him. He felt his mouth moving. He didn’t hear any words coming out....
Will rode his motorcycle around the Macon General parking lot until he spotted Sara’s BMW. It was a stupid thing to do, but he was feeling pretty stupid lately anyway. She’d bypassed the doctors’ lot and found a spot in the back under a stand of shade trees. He suppressed the desire to get off hi...
In that hour, she’d managed to drive home, shower, change her clothes and get all the way to the basement of City Hall East before the truth hit her like a sledgehammer. She had put her hand to the door marked GBI MEDICAL EXAMINER, then stopped, unable to open it. Another city. Another morgue. An...
He’d started at a thousand and was in the low two hundreds when he heard Amanda’s voice from somewhere inside the store. Or at least he thought it was Amanda’s voice. He’d never heard her sound so kind in his life. “I know, dear,” she said. “I’m sorry we have to keep you. We’re just going to leav...
Sara Linton managed, trying to feign interest as she picked at her salad.“And I say, ‘Lookit, bud, I’m a doctor. I’m not here to judge. You can be honest about …’ ”Sara watched Dale Dugan’s mouth move, his voice mercifully blending in with the lunchtime noise of the pizza parlor. Soft music playi...
She would make sure Claire was bathed and fed, and then she would stand over her sister while she called Helen to come take care of her. Lydia had filled in for her mother twenty-four years ago and she wasn’t going to do it again.Especially with the FBI involved.Just the thought of Fred Nolan mad...
The Hapeville Police Department. The College Park Police Department. The Atlanta Police Department. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Every available law enforcement office with any jurisdiction over the airport had sent all available resources. And still there was no sign of the girl. Every c...
The two-story cinder block building looked like a slasher movie set out of the sixties. Even as a kid, she’d thought of it as the Whore Hotel, the kind of place where people who didn’t want to get to know each other too well met to fuck. At the age of sixteen, Lena had pretended to lose her virgi...
The kitchen light was on. Kate’s car was parked on the pad down from the garage. His view of the front porch could not have been better. The ground was cold beneath him. He could feel it pressing into his thighs, curling up to his balls.Fox shifted. The pressure was getting worse.The pressure tha...
"Goddamm it!" she yelled, her voice catching in her throat. She rattled the handcuffs around her wrists, jerking at them even though she knew the gesture was useless. She was like a goddamn prisoner at a jail, her hands cuffed, strapped tight to a leather belt so that, even if she contorted herse...

Tracking down Kayla Alexander's former nemesis had been somewhat easier than speaking in front of a group of terrified teenagers. In retrospect, Olivia McFaden's relieving her of the podium had been somewhat reminiscent of Travis and Old Yeller in the woodshed.Still, Faith had managed to persuade...
The air did not move in the underground facility. The coolness afforded from the poured concrete walls was no match for the scorching heat. Even at seven in the morning, Amanda could feel sweat dripping down her neck and into her collar.Neither she nor Evelyn had been up for the barbecue after le...
Lena supposed Deacon had considered himself a rebel, that when his gray braid slapped against his back as he drove his ancient Harley to the bar, he had thought he was making some kind of statement against society. He still looked every inch the Hells Angel he'd been in his younger days: Handleba...
