Summary
The compelling stand-alone novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Unseen and Criminal.
1970s Atlanta: A time of great change and yet for many the fierce desire to keep things exactly the same is still strong. For women like Maggie Lawson and Kate Murphy every day is a battle. From different sides of the tracks they are united in their determination to be good cops. But they have to fight the prejudice of people like Maggie's uncle Terry who are convinced a woman's place is in the home. And all this in a city where 10 cops are killed a year and most of the city is a no-go area - even for their male colleagues. Then Jimmy's partner is shot dead and Maggie and Kate find themselves caught up in a case that forces them to make choices. Choices that have far reaching consequences - for them, for the police force, and for the community as a whole.

Suspenseful!
I have not been a reader for some years so have no real knowledge of authors or their reputations. Karin Slaughter is a really great writer of suspense. I listened every night and had to restrict myself to just one hour per session or I would just have never got any sleep. Well worth the price and I will look out for others by her.

Better than expected
I have read or l listened to all of Karin Slaughters work, except this, until now. I put it off because it just didn’t appeal to me for some reason. I’m glad I’ve listened now and I did enjoy it. It was predictable in character behaviour given the history of the 70’s (and sadly, for many, little has changed), but it was entertaining though not my favourite from her extensive catalogue.

Lapped it up
It took a wee while to get it straight just who was who with the characters were but once things cleared this story hooks you in especially with the narrator who has a voice like honey.
It takes place in 1970s America there's a cop killer on the loose and two young female rookie police officers try to unravel the mystery against the odds made harder given all the prejudices of the time.
This was my first Karin Slaughter it won't be my last - totally acceptable - next one please.

Interesting book that keeps you guessing.
Cop Town does not focus on the characters we would normally find in a Karin Slaughter book. However, it is based in Atlanta in the late 60's ( early 70's?) when equality and diversity were not even thought about.
Someone is killing Cops! The story follows a new recruit in her first week as she untangles the culture and characters of her new job.
I have had this book for quiet a while and put off reading it because it was outside my expected parameters for Karin Slaughter. I made a mistake.
Great book that once started I found difficult to put down!
