Fiction. Thriller. HTML:

Bill Black is a scary guy: a tall ex-con who rides to work on a Harley, and trails an air of violence wherever he goes. In Macon, Georgia, Bill has caught the eye of a wiry little drug dealer and his cunning girlfriend. They think Bill might be a useful ally. They don't know that Bill is a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent named Will Trent. Or that he is fighting his own demons, undercover and cut off from the support of Sara Lintonâ??the woman he loves, who he dares not tell he is putting himself at such risk.

Sara herself has come to Macon because of a cop shooting: her stepson Jared has been gunned down in his home. Sara holds Lena, Jared's wife, responsible: The female detective has been a magnet for trouble all her life, and it's not the first time someone Sara loved got caught in the crossfire. Furious, Sara gets involved in the same case that Will is working without even knowing it, and soon danger is swirling around both of them.

In a novel of fierce intensity, shifting allegiances, and shocking twists, two investigations collide around a conspiracy on both sides of the law. Karin Slaughter's latest is both an electrifying thriller and a piercing study of human nature: what happens when good people face the unseen evils in their lives.… (altro)

Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. As the book unfolds, some time has passed since the last one. The reader is immediately hit with an unimaginably horrific scene involving a familiar character. Ms. Slaughter wraps the reader up quickly into this story and leads us delicately into several possible reasons for the hateful crimes committed. One relationship seems irretrievably broken and others become tenuous at best. Waiting for answers and turning page after page has become a typical component when enjoying this author. ( )

Karin Slaughter is a great writer, but I think that her stories are often somehow "too much." The upside of a well-written book is that it reads fast, you just keep turning the pages, and fortunately this was one of those. This story is mighty complex, and there are some neat twists build in, but it was somehow too much story.

Everyone knows that incest runs deep in The South, particularly those Deep Red States like Mississippi and Georgia. But the characters in this book were a little too incestuous for me: high school girlfriend has dudes kid (unbeknownst to him), and kids step-dad is his real dads best friend, but kid grows up and follows in his real father's footsteps, and kid marries his (now dead) dads protege, kids wife is also responsible for his dads death, and dads widow hooks up with another guy who has a weird relationship with the kids wife, but one way or another they all kind of work together in one capacity or other... and then there is the bad guys who have similarly incestuous relationships but like five-fold.

Plus the backstory too closely mirrors the film The Usual Suspects. Definitely a book worth reading, but it just falls short of great.

Sent to Macon for an undercover mission to infiltrate a drug and prostitution ring, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Will Trent hides the facts about his latest assignment from his girlfriend, Sara Linton, when the stakes prove higher than any he has yet encountered.

Unseen. Karin Slaughter. 2013. When my friend Barbara P. told me that Lena was back in this newest Slaughter, I decided to wait until it came out in paperback to read it, however, Kim had a copy so… Yes, Lena is back, yes she is as unlikable as ever, but the book was one of the better ones in this series. Action switches from back and forth and in and out from Lena to Will Trent to Sara Linton and back again. Will has gone undercover in Macon where Lena is and Will doesn’t tell Sara. Then Sara gets called to Macon and finds out Will is there. And that’s just the personal stuff…Will is after a drug dealer and who is apparently connected to the man who shot Lena’s husband. Vintage Slaughter. I still don’t like Lena! Start from the beginning if you want to read this series. ( )
