The first woman was tortured.
The second was scared to death.
Now a sadistic killer hunts the third.
I could not put this book down. What a gripping story line. This wasn't the kind of genre that I would usually read, but I was hooked even after just reading the prologue. This book follows 3 main characters; 2 police officers and a grieving nurse, who are trying to hunt down a madman who is kidnapping and torturing women. The characters are so well described, you can picture every single one of them in your mind without having read any of the previous books. Unfortunately I felt that the ending was a little rushed. Each chapter builds up the tension so well that I was expecting a slightly more dramatic finish. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed reading this, it was so well written that I felt like I was watching a thriller movie in my head!
Karin Slaughter is an American crime writer, best known for her 'Grant County' series of novels. I have never read anything by her before, but after reading this book I am very keen on sampling some of her other work too.
I was lent this book by a lady that I work with (after complaining that I didn't have many books at home to choose from!) and I have already passed it onto another colleague to read.
Have you read anything by this author?
