Book review: False Witness by Karin Slaughter

Sunday, July 11, 2021 Permalink

False Witness by Karin Slaughter is the latest in a series of fabulous thrillers I’ve read within a short space of time. I’ve long been a fan of Slaughter’s series but am also very much enjoying her standalone novels.

I was worried this book might be a bit predictable, from the blurb. The premise seems kinda obvious, as if there will be nowhere for it to go that we haven’t been before. But – not only does Slaughter kick-off with an interesting twist – she manages to eke out the past and present in such a way that kept me riveted.

Book review: The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter

The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter is the tenth in the series featuring Will Trent, and though I’d say I’m a Slaughter devotee I somehow missed the last one or two.

Interestingly, for long term fans… this could almost be badged as a Grant County book as Jeffrey Tolliver, the (former) Chief of Grant County Police and headliner of that series (along with Sara Linton) features prominently. Which could be perplexing if you’ve read all of those books.

Book review: Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter

Karin Slaughter is yet another of my favourite authors. As well as her popular Grant County and Will Trent series, she’s recently released a number of excellent standalone novels. Her latest, Pieces of Her is no different and will certainly appeal to her fans and newcomers alike.

Book review: The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter

It feels like it’s been a while between Will Trent / Sara Linton drinks, and it has been, with the previous novel – and the 7th in Karin Slaughter’s popular series – released in 2013.

I’ll let Slaughter off this hook this time around however, as she’s kept busy with a range of other writing projects, including Cop Town and Pretty Girls.

Book review: Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

I’ve long been a fan of Karin Slaughter. I loved her Grant County series and the Will Trent books. I also enjoyed last year’s release Cop Town… a somewhat depressing insight into the early days of women in policing in 1970s Atlanta.

But her latest, Pretty Girls, is probably my favourite book of hers in a long time. Perhaps ever!

Book review: Cop Town

Monday, June 23, 2014 Permalink

I was born in the late 1960s and Karin Slaughter’s latest (stand-alone) novel, Cop Town, reminds me how lucky I am to have been born after generations of women who fought for equality and respect.

While women still battle for equal pay and opportunities in developed countries and access to education and basic human rights in others; I’m reminded that I’m fortunate to live in a more tolerant and accepting society. Sadly homophobia, sexism and racism continue to rear their ugly heads, but it’s reassuring to see more and more everyday types speaking out against inappropriate behaviour and intolerance.
