There aren't too many books that I simply cannot put down but this was one of them! A very gripping story with enough twists and turns to keep you reading well into the night. Karin Slaughter is definately one of my new favorite authors!

This author is fast becoming one of my favorites. Her books are set in the south, mostly Georgia, and she's very much at home with that as a location for the action in her books. Triptych is well named, although discovering how and why is part of the enjoyment of this well-written murder mystery.

You may think you know someone, may have spent a lifetime of school memories or on-the-job contact - may even be a relative - but what's beneath the surface of that casual acquaintance may shock and horrify you. What evil can a person hide without the world knowing? This is the story of just such a man. To say anymore would give away the story but suffice it to say that this is a powerful book that will keep you guessing until the last two chapters. Exciting, involving, puzzling. I recommend that you read it for yourself. Great book!

So many twists and turns!! It's one of those books I could read again and again even though I know how it ends. Probably one of her best, if not THE best.

Can't wait for more of these books to come, I love the characters in this book. Slaughter is definately dark, but an excellent read!

Very good book. Took a little bit to figure out the direction it was taking, then you're just waiting to see who's next, who the good guy is, and who the bad guy is. Has you rooting for the the good guys in their personal lives and professional lives at the same time. If you like this author, you'll definitely like this book!

Bestseller Slaughter departs from her Grant County crime series (Faithless, etc.) with a stand-alone thriller notable mainly for a jolting mid-book twist similar to one Ira Levin used with more subtlety in A Kiss Before Dying. The case of a prostitute's brutal murder provides a welcome break for Michael Ormewood, a cynical, world-weary Atlanta cop weighed down by dealing with the city's underclass and the heartbreak of a mentally impaired son. Since the victim's tongue was severed, linking the crime to several other recent outrages, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation intervenes. Suspicions focus on a recently paroled sex offender, John Shelley, who viciously butchered a neighbor more than a decade earlier. Slaughter unexpectedly switches the narrative's perspective, but the shock value garnered by the plot twist isn't matched by the predictable denouement.

This was such a great book. I had no idea where it was all heading. Wow talk about a twisted tale. I will add this author to my wish list.
