 fractured plot August 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Usually, I love books by Karin Slaughter. However, this book started out with a bang, got downright boring, then ended with a fizzle. Will Trent is a good guy, but this book didn't bring out traits that made him interesting. I was totally disappointed with this book/\.
 Close but no Cigar (this time) August 8, 2008
Been there since the start with Blindsighted which in many ways was a total 'can't put it down' experience. Tryptych was much the same but introducing Will Trent as the main Character. I was fully expecting another thriller to make your toes tingle but this just fell a little short. The story is a good one, and I urge you to go and read it - just don't expect fantastic value for money (this time)but it's still worth your hard earned cash!
No, *wow* moments no sharp intakes of breath as you read and no expletives when Slaughter knocks your socks off with her writing. A good solid basis for a crime/thriller but not a 5* read that would get you burning the midnight oil.
 Great start but faded August 6, 2008
I really enjoyed Triptych and Agent Will Trent so looked forward to this from Karin. The start was excellent with a mis-judged murder turning the story in another direction. The plot was supported by some strong characters with the Mother and Father as well as Trents partner Faith. All in all, a promising start. However, that's about it as the plot failed to progress and actually prolonged with not many twists or thrills. It became a rather average 'whodunit'and then whatsmore, the ending dragged for about 60 pages.
Disappointing... July 22, 2008

I was really looking forward to this book- having read all the others in the Grant County series and Triptych, I really am a fan of Karin Slaughter. Halfway through I was wondering if I had missed something and found myself waiting for the story to really "get going" all the way through the book. A reasonable story, and I may have even given the book 4 stars had it been written by anyone other than the fab Karin Slaughter. It doesn't stop me waiting with baited breath for the release of "Genesis" in 2009 though....
