Summary

On an ordinary spring day, Special Agent Faith Mitchell of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation returns home to a nightmare. Expecting to find her mother minding Faith’s new baby daughter Emma, she is horrified to discover Emma locked in the shed, her mother’s safe open, her gun missing and a trail of blood to the front door. Without waiting for back-up, Faith enters the house to a scene of carnage. It has been torn apart and a man lies dead in a pool of blood. She stumbles across two more intruders, and within minutes they too are shot dead. And when the Atlanta police force turns up, Faith has some difficult questions to answer. But she has some desperate questions of her own. What were the killers searching for? Ex-Atlanta police Chief Evelyn Mitchell was once under investigation by Faith’s partner Will Trent. Is her mother directly involved this time, and where is she now?

With Faith suspended from duty, Will, together with the help of Dr. Sara Linton, must piece together the fragments of a brutal and complicated case – and catch a deeply troubled and vicious murderer with only one thing on his mind. To keep on killing until the truth is finally revealed…

Another brilliant Karin Slaughter novel

I have read or listened to every book so far, and am never disappointed - in fact I find myself waiting for new releases! Fallen is no exception, fast paced, tense, funny at times, and characters I just love. I'm always left wanting more.

Good

Decent addition to the series, but not quite as gripping as the other two I've read (#4 and #8) which I loved.

Excellent Book

I think this is probably my favorite Will Trent story, it all fitted together well. Jennifer Woodward is exactly right as the narrator. Recommended to any Karin Slaughter fans.

Brilliant!

If you're familiar with the characters then this is the book for you! The development of the relationships between Will and the woment in his life weaves a tangled web which leaves you constantly wondering which way it'll turn next. Action packed, great one liners and a twist you don't see coming. Lots of clever detail which leads you on perfectly to the next book in the series.

Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series

This is a book in the Will Trent series that follow the main character in the search for his work partners mother. She is a retired Police Captain whose squad had been previously investigated by Will for 'serious crimes'.

Sara Linton, an emergency room doctor, become involved as the story unfolds.

You could possibly read this book as a standalone but it is much better when read in series order.

Jennifer Woodward does a good job as narrator.

Disappointing

This is the first Will Trent book I haven’t enjoyed and the first one I have listened to on Audible. Part of the reason was the way the narrator portrays all the women, strong characters, with simpering, whiny baby voices. Completely put me off so that I had to force myself to listen to her. Definitely detracted from any enjoyment I might otherwise have experienced.
