pick4½ ✨
When I started this book I couldn't remember why I liked it as much as I did the first time. I remember the premise and the disgust I felt, but not why after 3 years I still felt this way.
But now I remember! The brilliance of Slaughter's work does not cease to amaze me.
Absolutely loved Laurence's narration.
Medical examiner Sara Linton and her partner Will Trent, an investigator with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, rush to the scene—and into the heart of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to destroy thousands of innocent lives. When the assailants abduct Sara, Will goes undercover to save her and prevent a massacre—putting his own life on the line for the woman and the country he loves.
I learned a few things from reading this book.
-I like the show better
-Confirms this author is not for me
-White nationalists are crazy monster truckers
1. Tagged book takes place in Atlanta.
2. I want to visit the Shetland islands from the Ann Cleeves series.

pickKarin Slaughter was exactly what I needed to break through this reading slump. Action packed, as always, and absolutely terrifying, I loved it and didn‘t want to put it down.
pickThis was lot. Even though it's fiction, the ideologies of the villain and his minions are too similar to current events.
so-so18. Didn't enjoy this as much, maybe because I'd read three back to back! 3/5
pickWow! What an excellent storyline. It put a mirror up to what‘s been going on in the United States for the last several years. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, anticipating what would happen next. Another must read. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Book 9 in the Will Trent series took a bit of a different direction than others. In this one, Will must go undercover in order to save Sara and stop a crime from happening that puts thousands of lives in danger. Will also has to finally face his feelings for Sara.
Great thriller!
Sorry I‘m so late at posting this I‘ve been dealing with a stomach bug!😕 But thank you so much @Pogue for my #litsylovespringswap gift!! The scarf is beautiful!! I wish I knew how to knit or crochet! I tried to teach myself but it didn‘t work out! Haha thank you so much!! I‘m excited to read these books also! 💜💜 @Bookgoil @rsteve388
so-soThis is more of a crime book rather than the usual whodunnits I like 😬 it was however a good fast paced story and contained the most important thing... will Trent 😚
pickKarin Slaughter is just so good. But damn, with recent events in the U.S., this hit scarily too close to home. Good thing this author is smarter than a bunch a racist assholes? But part of me is like, “don‘t give them ideas!”
Finishing up this suspenseful and highly entertaining read. 👍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just started this one👍
So far ...fast-paced and entertaining!
pickWow... fast paced and some what wordy, but I‘m willing to throw that aside because Karin Slaughter crafted one heck of a story! I love Will and seeing his growth in this book. 😍🌟🌟🌟🌟
I love when an author mentions a place that I‘ve actually visited! I have several family members that live in Flowery Branch, GA!! It‘s a beautiful town. 🤗 From my aunt and uncle‘s back porch you can see a location that they use of the show Ozark.
On to the next in the Will Trent series while little man and Theo face off in the battle of snacks.🤗
pickThis audible was a great listen. I like how Karin Slaughter writes. The ending kind of became predictable but there was some that i wasn‘t expecting. It was worth it.
pickI really liked this book and it kept me reading. It wasn‘t predictable like I thought it was going to be!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickHomegrown terrorist cells are the focus of the latest crime novel set in Atlanta. Slaughter is one of my go-to crime/brain candy authors and she doesn‘t disappoint. After a CDC doctor is kidnapped and a bombing occurs at Emory university, the GBI & FBI investigate. Occasionally long winded, edge-of-your seat action makes up for it. There‘s something engaging about reading novels set in your own town, isn‘t there? 3.5/5 ⭐️ #CathysCatchUpPosts
Did I just accidentally find a thriller w a lesbian couple???? 🥺😍 I heard 'married when legally able to' and I was shook!
What‘s not to love? Will Trent #9 read by Kathleen Early. Sooo good. One of my favorites in the series.
so-so#Booked2020 #Winter #CoverCrush
I didn‘t like this book as much as I should have (I have loved most of Slaughter‘s Grant County & Will Trent series), mostly because the subject matter has become a matter of severe distress for me. This book involves the heinous machinations of a pedophilic overlord (Dash) whose paramilitary operations, if successful, could wipe out huge swaths of the population of Atlanta (the novel‘s setting). Slaughter ⬇️
pickShe never disappoints. This was a good book. Karin and her twisy storyline is always a good read.
pickThis had a real Rambo feel to it which is quite different to her previous novels. It was good to have a story from a different point of view. The story was also repeated from different perspectives which was a new approach too. Not my favourite of her books, but still enthralling.
pickWow!! What a ride!! This book is full of twists and turns that will leave you wanting more! An excellent read about our current political culture and the world we live in!
pickI loved this book! Devoured it in 2 sittings. Karin Slaughter never disappoints. She did a great job integrating the current political climate in a mystery/thriller. I don‘t always like when mystery/thriller authors do that, but this was well done. I recommend if you‘re a fan of the genre. Trigger warnings for rape and child abuse.
so-soThis book was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I really liked parts of the story but found other parts a bit tedious and over written. I have not read all of the other books that proceed this one in the series, so maybe that would‘ve helped me enjoyed this book more. It just seemed that the author got bogged down in details that didn‘t move the story forward. Normally, I like her writing but this one was not my favourite .
My year in books. Shortest read was 84 Charing Cross Road and longest was The Huntress.
pickHad hoped to finish this one yesterday as my last book.of 2019, but finished it up today. Great read that kept me on the edge of my seat. Her books can be graphic but the storyline keeps me reading.
So I‘ll start by saying I love this series. I‘ve read every book. But I feel like I play book bingo waiting for her to use the word “bile”. Every. Book. This was the mark for use #1 🤣
It begins with an abduction. The routine of a family shopping trip is shattered when Michelle Spivey is snatched as she leaves the mall with her young daughter. A month later, on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, medical examiner Sara Linton is at lunch with her boyfriend will Trent, an agent with the Georgia Bureau of investigation. But the serenity of the summers day is broken by the wail of sirens. A radical group has murder in mind.
“The right man isn‘t intimidated by a woman who‘s comfortable with who she is.”
“A furious woman was capable of inflicting immense psychological damage, the kind that stuck around long after the wounds healed.”
“She wasn‘t against religion so much as the people who sought to use it as a weapon. One of the things that had drawn Sara to medicine was the immutability of facts. The atomic number for helium would always be two. The triple point of water was indisputably the basis of the definition for the kelvin. You didn‘t need faith to believe either of these things. You just needed math.”
Staying in tonight with my pup & a very good book ❤️
Finally picked this up from the library!! So excited to read the latest book from my favorite author
so-soSara has been taken prisoner and Will is forced undercover, on a case in which thousands of lives are at stake. book is too political for me. Slaughter is a great storyteller but we love to be entertained by by the exploits of Sara and Will's relationship in Grant County instead of Neo-Nazi‘s, domestic terrorism and homebred militia which we get enough of on the nightly news.
pickPhenomenal! At some point maybe I'll stop being shocked when Slaughter exceeds my already high expectations, every single time. Here's hoping she continues to crank out these books, bc I don't know how I'll ever say bye to Will Trent 🤗
I've been falling down the rabbit hole that is start/stopping library books and feeling guilty because of how long I was on the waitlist for them. So I decided to put my Kindle to the side for a sec and reach for a pinch hitter that I'd been saving, the most recent Karin Slaughter 👏🏽
