Book Description:
In a stifling hospital room in a small Georgia town, Detective Lena Adams sits, silent and angry — the only suspect in a horrific murder. Soon, a hundred miles away, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver will get the call that his young detective has been arrested. And Jeffrey's wife, pediatrician and medical examiner Sara Linton, has troubles of her own and little patience for Lena or her dramas. Fighting a heartbreaking malpractice suit, Sara cannot guess that within days she herself will be at the center of a bizarre and murderous case.

For Lena has fled back to the place where she grew up hard, careening back through the shadows of her past and into a shocking underground world of bigotry and rage. And now only Jeffrey and Sara can free Lena from the web of lies and brutality that has trapped her—as this powerhouse of a novel races toward its shattering climax…and a final, unforgettable twist.

This was a fast read! If you like plot twists and edge of your seat reading then this one is for you. Her style of writing is amazing! She writes complex story lines that grab you and hold you till the shocking end. This was my first book that I read from her and I immediatley went and got another.

I MEAN IT. IF YOU READ ANY FURTHER, AND HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK - YOU WILL SPOIL THE END OF IT, FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT ONCE YOU GET THERE AND IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT STUPID!

Ok, now that we're clear.

I loved this book. I also knew Karin was going to have to put an end to the series or take it to a totally new place, I mean how many horrible things can happen in Grant county before the US Government secretly blows it off the map?

Anyway, I just NEVER, EVER, EVER expected her to kill Jeffery. In hindsight, and once the shock wore off - I understood. But oh, I was PISSED at the author for a while when he died. I must have read and re-read those last two pages over and over, crying. Then I went to her website, looking for a DAMN explanation, because I was so mad!

Ha ha! Do you think I get a bit carried away with reading?

Anyway, I am excited to have Karin begin again with Lena and Sara (and baby?) somewhere else, or in new circumstances. But I will probably never forgive Karin for killing Jeffery.

Overall, excellent book - as usual. All of her Grant County Series have been fantastic.

Bk 7 in the Sara Linton series. Again the interactions of the characters with the tight plot is a Karin Slaughter's signature. You don't want to miss this thriller with an ending that was never expected.

Four stars and a must for thriller and suspense fans. If yor have never read Karin Slaughter as thriller or sispense, you need to try her books.

Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver receives a call. Once again his Detective, Lena Adams, is in trouble. She's been arrested for a murder in her hometown. Jeffrey and Sara Linton try to wade through the evidence and the bodies in order to help clear Lena.

I loved the mystery and I loved the characters. Great story. I certainly wasn't too happy with the last few pages. If you've read this book, you'll know what I'm talking about. My overall rating: 4.5 Stars.
