I love Karin Slaughter's series but this book was a little off for me. I don't really like Lena as a character, even with all she has been through and this book is all about her. I love Sara and how strong she is, but in this book she is weaker emotionally. For those of you that have read the ending - read the acknowledgments. The last two paragraphs are from Karin asking readers to go to a website where there is a letter from her explaining why she did what she did and more. But don't go there until you have read the entire book!

This book was just..WOW! Usual Slaughter with it's twists and turns throughout. A really well and great written plot and story. The ending to this one though just STUNNED me. My mouth literally dropped open. I'm not sure what it will mean for the future of the Grant County series. For anyone that's read the rest of the books in the series..prepare yourselves for the ending. Not at all how I expected it to end!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok at first i thought wasn't going to be able to enjoy the book because it kept switching from past to present and i really don't like that. but now i see that it was the only to really read this book.

lena finds herself in some trouble and of course jeffery is running to her side. but this time, the trouble she's in may just be too much for jeffery to handle.

in the end, secrets are revealed, a couple gets a wish granted, and someone dies.

the ending is extremely shocking!!!!!!!!!!!

This is probably the best book in this series!! I loved it! I had to go back and re-read the last few pages because I wasn't sure if I read it correctly. Great book!!!

Bitter sweet comes to mind as I read the last page of this book. I don't know what Slaughter was thinking, but I can tell you the ending was not at all what I was expecting. WOW!!! Talk about shock value. If you are a Grant county fan, you will definately understand my reaction. If you have never read any of theses books ,you can not read these books out of order. I tell you now this book was worth the wait, but again I say it is bitter sweet. When you set down to read this book, be prepared for a lot of unanswered questions to be answered. GREAT READ!!!!

Lena gets herself in trouble again, while Sara is devastated by a malpractice suit. Another taut thriller by Slaughter, with drugs and family and love and dependency weaving into a painful tapestry that threatens to ruin them all. I read it in a day, because I couldn't get close to putting it down.

Karin Slaughter really knows how to grab the reader. I've read every book in this series and this one really packed a punch.

I've read all the books in the grant county series, i love all of her books, but i must say i was so....shocked and disappointed at the ending, thought the series should not have ended the way it did.

Lena is in trouble again - this time she is a suspect murder, when she is found watching a car with a person inside burn on a football field. As usual, Jeffery rushes to her rescue with Sara by his side. Lena decides to go rogue, leaving Jeffery and Sara to untangle a complicated web of clues involving Sybil, Hank, and even Ethan Green.

I enjoyed this book very much up until the end. Slaughter is masterful at helping the reader to understand how deeply troubled people can make the decisions they do. The story is suspenseful and the mystery a difficult one to unravel. Too bad the ending is so terrible - I hope Slaughter redeems herself in the next Grant County book.

this is the exact same book as "Skin Privilege" by Karin Slaughter!

I have a great love/hate relationship with this book. As usual, the novel was a gripping read – kept me on my toes and not wanting to put the book down until I had finished it. I read the greater majority of the book in a 4 hour time period.

The book was well written, as always, a great plot… and lots of twists and turns. Things that you’ve taken at face value since the inception of the series will be turned upside down leaving you feeling as much turmoil as the characters in the novel. Right up until the end – which is an absolutely heartbreaking end to the series. I seriously tossed the book into the backseat of the car I was riding in when I finished it and raspberried the book! LOL Yes, I was that annoyed by the end.

The characters that anyone who has read the series have come to know and love are shaken, and it won’t be until the very end that you’ll find the heartbreaking conclusion to the series.

I have to give this book the usual 5 stars because it truly is a wonderful novel. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and keeps you guessing.

excellent book in the series.

This book was a little different than the previous Grant County books. It was involved with Lena and her past, a lot of flashbacks. The most surprising part was the ending. Totally unexpected.

Karin Slaughter has the knack for writing complex characters, people who are not always likable or even plausible, but who certainly grab a reader's interest. This book was compelling and more than a little creepy to read, and as other reviews have mentioned, was a real stunner at the end. Where will she go from here?

“Beyond Reach” was addictive and riveting; I found that I could hardly put it down! Once again Dr. Sara Linton, accompanied by and freshly reconciled with husband Sheriff Jeffrey Tolliver, unravels an intricately tangled mystery while struggling with her relationship with Jeff. Trust me, you will not be able to guess this ending—and I am certainly not going include any plot spoilers in this review!

For those of you who, as I, are new to Karin Slaughter, Dr. Sara Linton is usually Slaughter’s central protagonist, whether willing or unwitting. “Beyond Reach,” however, opens with Detective Lena Adams occupying center stage and suspected of a dramatic murder. Presented throughout the novel with glimpses into her mind, I anticipated discovering tragedy and violence in Lena’s past. But even so, the darkness and pain entwined within the fabric of the person who is Lena are wrenching. A much-needed flash of sunlight, Dr. Linton’s strong moral reactions and fundamental good nature stand at odds with the brutality that finds Sara and Jeffrey in Lena’s outwardly sleepy Georgia hometown.

Trying to help Jeffrey locate and, hopefully, exonerate Lena, Sara once again finds she is in the thick of murder and mayhem. Jeffrey expertly plays his role of leading man as he confronts the worst among the many antagonists and gathers assistance from other law enforcement agencies. Meanwhile, veteran Slaughter fans will appreciate learning more about the enigma that is detective Lena Adams. Self-destructive and vulnerable, yet absolutely as hard as nails, the story helps explain Lena’s motivations and reactions as she struggles to finally come to terms with her unwelcome background.

“Beyond Reach” was my first Karin Slaughter novel, and therefore, my first exposure to these characters. Although it references past events, “Beyond Reach” cleanly stands alone as an independent novel. You will do no harm to the story line by starting with this one and then reading earlier novels in the series. Likewise, you will not find yourself lost or misunderstanding the characters or the plot. And to be sure that I could trust these opinions, I read an earlier Karin Slaughter novel in this series before writing this review. Now I find myself wanting to read the remaining novels!
