 Brilliant July 5, 2008

I read Fractured in three days, it was addictive to read. The characters are real, and very believable. The plot has all the twists and turns of a great murder mystery novel, and the book deserves all the praise that it is attracting at the moment.
The ability to direct your imagination along the same path as the key characters, and then turn you on your head is something that this author has in bucket loads. There is no doubt that Karin Slaughter books are worth every penny, entertaining, exciting, and worth reading again when you run out of stuff to read !! If you enjoy suspense, try Soft Target and the sequel Soft Target 2 `Tank, by Conrad Jones. I read all three on holiday and they kept me on my sunbed all holiday. I`m going to look up everything that Karin Slaughter has written, and tell evryone how good the books are!!

Not a Grant County/Sara Linton book, and if you've read the last one, Skin Privilege, you may agree with me that Slaughter's bold character and plot decisions make for something a bit rare and wonderful in this genre -a sense of realism in the 3-dimensional characters so that you really care about their pathway through the narrative far more than the nasty stuff - and can't put the book down!(Hence the breathtaking ending to Skin Privilege -see linked discussion). Will Trent, who we met in Triptych, is even more compelling in this book and manages to be a real hero rather than a fairytale. Just as excellent as the other Slaughter books. If you've not read any Karin Slaughter yet - get them all, amazing. In fact they convinced me that here was a genre I was missing out on but on trying Patterson and Cornwell's later Scarpetta stuff I realised how trashy and shallow these are in comparison. Thank goodness Karin Slaughter can churn them out quite quickly!
Will Trent - hero? July 17, 2008

I bought Karin Slaughters last book - Triptych as I had really enjoyed the Grant County books..... Ditto for this book. But wow, Will Trent has become the lead, a hero ..... a character to follow in his own right.
The thriller part of the book is brill - but I was surprised how I cheered Will's relationship with his new partner.... So far this is not romantic, though it is intense, will KS make it a romance ... I don't know, but as Faith unravels Will's child home past the relationship definately appears to have legs and I am very willing/even hopeful to follow it,
<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>
Downside, KS's definition of dyslexia/ and Will's age do not really reflect what I know and see in Britain's understanding of dyslexia. Will seems to have the symptoms of scotopic sensitivity - and might find that coloured glasses or a coloured overlay may help the movement he has when tired or stressed!(it is also possible to changethe background colour of the computer you are working on)! (Many, but not all dyslexics find the coloured glasses useful....) But these thoughts in no way detracted from Slaughter's drawing of the Will character ... I await the next....

When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home unexpectedly one afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man standing over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows changes Abigail's life forever. When the local police make a misjudgement which not only threatens the investigation but places a young girl's life in danger, the case is handed over to Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team - teamed with detective Faith Mitchell, a woman who resents him from their first meeting. But in the relentless heat of a Georgia summer, Will and Faith realise that they must work together to find the brutal killer who has targeted one of Atlanta's wealthiest, most privileged communities - before it's too late.
This is the second book in Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series. I thought this book was really good it was full of Slaughters trademark twists and turns and the 2 leading detectives were absolutely believable and highly readable. I think the story line is really good and again, believable as we follow the effects of the tragedy on the surrounding environments. While this is the second Will Trent book it would be just as good as a standalone.
Karin Slaughter really is a breathtaking talent in the genre and definately one of the best at it, definately worth a read.
