Search - Indelible

Another exciting story about police chief Tolliver and his ex-wife Sara, the county medical examiner. I really enjoyed this book and it has a few surprising twists.

Karin Slaughter has written another winner!!! This book, another in the Heartsdale stories like her earlier "Blindsighted", "Kisscut, etc., is wonderful.

In this book, two gunmen come into the Heartsdale Police Department, and open fire. Jeffrey Tolliver is critically wounded and his ex-wife, Sara Linton, is taken hostage along with several others. Sara soon learns that the gunmen are not unknown to either her or Jeffrey, but rather they are part of their past.

Karin Slaughter does a great job using "flasback" type scenes to give us insight into Sara and Jeffrey's past when they had first begun dating almost fifteen years earlier. They visit Jeffrey's hometown and stumble into a murder as well as some of Jeffrey's old secrets. The scenes from the past are woven effortlessly into the novel and really give us a glimpse of what Sara and Jeffrey are like based on their pasts.

"Indelible" barely touches on some of the other Heartsdale characters that we have come to enjoy in her previous books. Characters like Tessa (Sara's siste) are barely mentioned and Lena Adams, while still a major player in this book, is not delved into as much as in previous novels. This book focuses mainly on Sara and Jeffrey, and is all the more intense for it.

This was my first Karin Slaughter book. I LOVED it and I have already picked up the rest of the series. Excellent plot line, interesting characters, many twists and surprises!

Karin Slaughter is an author that I was introduced to through PaperBackSwap members. I ordered these books only because of reading information about them here. I am so grateful!! I have read so many of this genre that I'm a tough audience to impress; she more than makes the cut. She is, to me, one of the best writers in this genre: right up there with Jeffery Deaver, T. Jefferson Parker, John Sandford, Carol O'Connell etc.

As someone else commented, this book is, for her, somewhat slower moving at times than her usual hold-your-breath pace. However, it is still very intense and definitely enhances the development and your understanding of the two main characters.

I have the next title in the series on my shelf, but I restrained myself from gobbling it up. I still hear it calling to me; I won't be able to resist very long...probably won't even try.

My first Karin Slaughter novel ---- I will be reading more of her books! Lots of twists and turns!

If you are a ready of Slaughter's, this book gives you a look at the Sara and Jeffrey's past. Explains why Jeffrey is the way he is. A great read, kept me reading.

The Grant County series is excellent. I recommend it to anyone.

slow in some parts but overall a good read-

What an ending!!!

I like Karin Slaughter's style and her characters very much. I am looking to find the rest of the series here on PBS.

An officer is shot point blank in the Grant County police station and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver is wounded, setting off a terrifying hostage situation with medical examiner Sara Linton at the center. Working outside the station, Lena Adams, newly reinstated to the force, and Frank Wallace, Jeffrey's second in command, must try to piece together who the shooter is and how to rescue their friends before Jeffrey dies. For the sins of the past have caught up with Sara and Jeffrey-with a vengeance...

This book is a hardback, but does not have the dust cover.

Great mystery.

great story line and continuation of this series - highly recommend
