Book Description:
From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread -- and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael's lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killerâÂÂs trail in the most coincidental of waysâÂÂand who may be the key to breaking the case wide open.
In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the bestselling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.

The first Karin Slaughter book I have read! She is a fantastic crime novelist! Her characters are alive and have depth! She gives alot of insight into their nature and motivations! Lots of twists and turns,enough evidence but not so much technical stuff that you nod off! She has won me over and I will continue to read her books. Very very good.

I have loved everything I have ever read by karin Slaughter. She writes characters that are complex and real which makes it so easy to get lost in her books. This is a great story and a great twist at the end!

Why would someone steal John Shelley's identity? He's been in prison for the past 22 years. Stranger still ... whoever has opened credit card and bank accounts in his name was paying the bills on time, and even bought and paid off a house.
This is an excellently constructed and very suspenseful book. The only reason why I did not finish it in one sitting, was that I was dead tired. Great read!

Tense? Nerve-wracking? Yes. But also a good story with interesting characters. A winner.
Four stars.

This is probably the best mystery book I have read and I have read hundreds. This book kept me on the edge of my seat all the way and altho it was a bit bloodier than I usually like it was still a great book. It has everything you need in a good mystery....the cunning madman, a love angle, and innocent players. It really is a nerve wracking suspense book.

1st time I read one of her books. Won't be the last. Some of it I was able to figure out before we got there while other parts were a surprise. I wanted the ending to be different ... to be perfect. The only time you can get a "Happy Ending" is when you order a sundae at Friendly's. ;)

Barbara N. - Des Plaines, IL wrote on 8/26/2009...This was my first Karin Slaughter book. I loved it. I thought it was excellent and I am looking forward to reading another one of her books. I have Fractured in my home library and I'm going to read this one next. I hope it is as good as Triptych. Make sure to add this book to your list of books to read. You won't regret it.
Barbara (Triptych contains some of the most realistic characters I've ever found in any novel. The people, cops and criminals alike, cannot be pegged as good or bad, giving or selfish, compassionate or cruel; they are instead a tantalizing, frustrating, annoying, very familiar human mix of all of these. They are all damaged in some way, and all fighting to handle the results as best as they're able. There is gruesome crime and gutter language, but it's the characters that make the book worthwhile.
I like this author very much. This book is not about her usual characters, but I found it very engrossing and hard to predict.
