Helpful Score: 6
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.
