so-soI've always thought my dislike for this book stemmed from the Grant County ending being spoiled for me just before starting this specific book. But after this re-listen I've realised that, that's not the reason.
I just wasn't as invested in this story as the previous ones, and it felt unnecessarily drawn out.
so-soThis one was a bit slow and tedious. There just wasn‘t much of a thrill in the storyline. People were murdered, the case was investigated, the murderer was arrested, and case closed. The back-and-forth with Sara and Jeffrey is getting tedious as well. Either Jeffrey is obtuse, selfish or just plain stubborn. Perhaps he‘s all three. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
“The victim was buried alive in the Georgia woods—then killed in a horrifying fashion. When Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver stumble upon the body, both become consumed with finding out who killed the pretty, impeccably dressed young woman. And for Sara and Jeffrey, a harrowing journey begins, one that will test their own turbulent relationship and draw dozens of lives into the case.”
so-soNot a crazy amount of reading done today as I left work early to take this little Wiggle to the city for his first ever concert 🥰
I did manage to finish the last little bit my #audiobook on the highway though. I'm not sure if I need a break from the series or what but I wasn't feeling this story as much as the others. It was good, but not great. One more to go!

pickWith this read I finished off my #BookSpinBingo board this month for my audiobooks. #LittenListen @aperfectmjk
I thought book 4 was so-so, but this next book was brilliant, bloody, and better than all the previous ones. 😍
I felt all of the characters had equal time in this fast-paced mystery that invoices a religious family with a big secret.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

pickSlaughter doesn‘t disappoint.There is always a lot of violence & evil characters,twists & turns, plus we always learn so much more about Sarah , Jeffrey, & Lena .Weird bookish coincidence, one of the bad guys in Slaughters book has the same wound as Jeffrey MacDonald .I have had this on the radar for awhile (thanks @vivastory ) So I will take it as a sign to read Morris book next ! (Already an * MacDonalds wounds more extensive.)
Happiness is getting out of bed just to make my Nespresso and sneaking back to bed for quiet reading time! Ahhhh, Saturday.
pickThis took SO long! Not because it was bad, July was just an absolute crazy month (like the whole world knows) ANYWAY I know what‘s coming in the next book, and I‘ve always been team will, and no time for jeffrey, but I think he finally won me over.., I know, I know, bad timing.
pickAnother excellent installment of the Grant County series! I not only enjoy the crimes that get solved, I love the characters. Karin Slaughter is so talented in how she allows the reader to become so invested in their lives.
pickReally obsessed with Karin Slaughter! I love the main characters and the stories about them. This part of the Grant County series was so enjoyable! Always keeps me guessing.
I think this is one of my favorite hardcover designs in a long time! Hope the reading is as good!! #karinslaughter #faithless
Finally conquered the flu! I‘ve done my chores and the weather outside is dreadful. ☝🏾My plan for the rest of the day 🙃
Another good showing from Karin Slaughter. In rural Catooga County, a church/farm experiences a higher than normal number of deaths. Is this simply due to the nature of recovering addicts they serve or something more sinister? Twists and drama make this an entertaining #crime #thriller. Narration in a southern dialect (note I didn‘t say “kuntry”) adds some Georgian flavor.
pickI loved this installment of Karin Slaughter‘s Grant County series. It was so much better than the 3th and 4th! This one is about a religious community where strange things happen and no one wants to talk. Of course there is a gruesome murder, but also lots of twists and strong characters. My favorite Sara Linton book so far! One more book to go.

pickI was absolutely gripped. Karin Slaughter knows how to write a crime novel. Very good.
Book number 62 of my year! Yay 😃
pickBook 5 in the Grant County series and it's no surprise that I enjoyed it! This one was a smidge convoluted and there were a bunch of characters to keep up with, but that's really just me nitpicking. Another solid Slaughter read 😄
Treating myself to lunch at Nobu's sushi bar and digging into the next Grant County book 😋
pickI haven't read a bad plot by Slaughter so far. Great book, a page turner. Feat: Yume 🐶 #Faithless #KarinSlaughter #book #bookaholic #booklovers #ler #leitura #leitora #reading #instabook #instaread #instabooks #bookstagram #litsy #booklover #readingabook #vero #Sha2018 #taglivros
pickI generally like Karin Slaughter‘s books and this one was no exception. Although I will have to say the domestic violence aspect of the plot angered me — not because it was bad (it wasn‘t) — but because the very idea that there are people out there who would do such things to the people they claim to love just enrages me. Good characters and plot, and a mostly satisfying ending.
pickA well written thriller that explores our preconceived beliefs about the religious. Yes, some are bad but most are good, just like all groups. The murders were horrifying and played on my fears. The resolution of the murder was satisfying. The personal lives of the detectives was not as satisfying for me but not bad either. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ book 📚
pickYESSSSS here is the relationship and banter that I want with Jeffrey + Sara, and I am even happy with where Lena is at the end of this book. ( I think. I‘m always afraid to say with her-she‘s such a wild card.)
The crime/procedure isn‘t my favorite of the series but I love the way Lena + Jeffrey + Sara work together in and out of the office.
KSlaughter always scares me for what‘s coming up on the literal last page or two. GASP + bring on book 6.
This is the fifth book (out of six) in the Grant County Series and they‘ve switched audiobook narrators!!?? Oh my gosh! Kathleen Early is so awesome at reading these books! I‘m having a mini-meltdown over this!
WHY CHANGE, WHY? 😩😩😩🙇🏻♀️
My mother-in-law and I have been trading this series back and forth this year. It‘s such a great series, and the characters are solid, real people. I also love that my MIL and I bond over books so much. She‘s the best!
