I love this Will Trent series and I’ve collected them all on audio over the past couple years. I sometimes worry when I start but that’s ridiculous because I am immediately hooked into the well-written characters and world. The main plots always seem timely but perhaps they are just timeless crimes. The topic of the […]
The Kind Worth Saving is the second in the series. I actually also got the first book The Kind Worth Killing at the library. The books are almost 8 years apart. The characters who are carried over to this book are Henry Kimball and Lily Kintner. Henry Kimball is no longer a police detective. He […]
Trigger warnings: suicide, substance abuse, violence against women Pretty Girls is another great story by Karin Slaughter. It is exactly what I would expect to get from her, dark, twisted and kept me on the edge of my seat. It is also not the book for anyone who is even a little bit squeamish. I […]
I’ve been on a Karin Slaughter kick and since there aren’t any new Will Trent books, I’m still working my way through her backlist of standalone stories. This one is a bit different. Andrea moved back to her small hometown to take care of her mother with cancer and never left again. She’s in a […]
I was in the mood for a good suspense/thriller story and there are several Karin Slaughter stand alone stories I haven’t tackled yet, so I just grabbed one at random. I very rarely read the blurb on a book. I like going in blind. So it was a bit of a shock that this story […]
So, first, I want to say, this story can trigger some people. This is a crime novel, which means you read some pretty horrible stories. Personally, I like being in a world where the bad guys are always caught and justice is served. But that also means I end up reading some pretty horrific […]
I started reading the Will Trent series late last year. I was adding the seventh book, Unseen, to my TBR list as one of my next listens, when I see a comment from a blogger friend, Jonetta, about don’t read the first paragraph of her review of Unseen if you haven’t read the Grant County […]
Read It, Rate It and Record A short review to update challenges I read my first book by this author this summer and it was insta-love! I just bought The Good Daughter at Audible and saw this prequel was available at the library and couldn’t resist. Last Breath was a great introduction to the […]
I love this Will Trent series and I’m so happy I was able to listen to it all with the new audio recordings, so everything was the same narrator. Every book seems to get better. There is a sharp contrast between man’s inhumanity to man based on greed or superiority or need to control others, […]
The Will Trent series, never lets up with its clever plots and personal growth for characters. The character growth is a bit slow at times but we are seeing a snapshot of a few days to a week so that isn’t unreasonable. I just wish Will and Sara could be more settled. They are fully […]
