Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Triptych (Will Trent #1)
In the city of Atlanta, women are dying—at the hands of a killer who signs his work with a single, chilling act of mutilation. Leaving behind enough evidence to fuel a frenzied police hunt, this cunning madman is bringing together dozens of lives, crossing the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread—and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael's lover before she became his enemy. But another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer's trail in the most coincidental of ways—someone who may be the key to breaking the case wide open...List Appertaining To Books Triptych (Will Trent #1)

This is my first Slaughter novel and I have to say that I feel pretty mixed about it. Aspects of this book were really excellent. Ms. Slaughter has a way of building up a story to a harsh crescendo with many interesting and somewhat believable characters that collide in a very dysfunctional and bloody mess. I could not help but continue this book despite the very intense violence and hopelessness that permeates much of this

When Karin Slaughter came to my town to sign books last month I realised I had never read any of her books and with all those people standing in line I knew I'd better find out what she was all about. I've read the book, but not with great pleasure. I can appreciate the way she has built up the story and I can also see why others might like her, but I won't pick up another of her books soon.
This is the first in Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series and the first book I've read of hers. We are introduced to Will Trent, a Special Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent, called in to help local police with difficult crimes. Will is a loner and a damaged man, having been abused as a child, his 6'4" body covered in scars. He met his best friend and sometime lover Angie in a State orphanage and she is the only person he lets get close to him. Angie is tough as nails, currently an undercover
Wow!!!! I only wish I could give this book "Triptych" 6 stars as in my opinion this is one hell of a story and definitely my type of book! This is a no holes barred book that is gritty, gruesome, highly addictive and an absolute page turner that I totally devoured in a couple of days. If you are particularly offended by vicious violence or the world of seedy prostitution then this book may not be for you but I thought Karin captured it all perfectly, especially John's time in prison which I was
