Summary
The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds Sibyl Adams dead in the local diner. As well as being viciously raped, Sibyl has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear. Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that Sibyl's murder wasn't a one-off attack. What they're dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer.

Not bad
The plot flows nicely, the story is enticing. It makes you want to read to find out what's going on. It's creepy and disgusting in places. The characters didn't grab me much though, didn't stick in my mind like they should have done. The narrator was good, get voice fitted well to the story. Overall a good impression though, I would be willing to read more of her books.

Predictable trashy thriller
Clearly written for a certain audience, one that doesn't like to think. This was recommended to me by a colleague but it was an error of judgement on their part.
I'm certainly not the target audience for this book. The characters follow such obvious stereotypes, the plot is thin, the characters one dimensional, its blindingly obvious who the killer is and full of cliché.
I wasn't aware until after reading the book of the authors personal life and opinions, but it makes sense as every male character in this book is either a druggie, a slacker, emotionally stunted, a pervert or simply just stupid whilst all the female characters are martyrs and heroines.
I'm sure people do enjoy this kind of writing, but if you enjoy an intelligent, thought provoking novel, steer clear of this.
The narration was awful too. Full of southern American drawl, the voices for the male characters were laughable, often reminding me of Lenny from Of Mice and Men, the redneck from the Simpsons and deputy dawg.
I shan't be reading anything further by this author.

Great introduction to the Grant County series
I really enjoyed this introduction to the characters in the Grant County series of books by Karin Slaughter.
The lovely southern drawl of the narrator suits the setting perfectly and the reader is gently eased in to the story then Sarah Linton discovers the first murder victim! This initial murder is gruesome and pretty explicit and leaves you reeling, I thought the story might suffer and have nowhere else to go but it continued to gather pace and had an equally pacy ending.
The small town atmosphere where everyone knows everyone else was captured very well, the characters have been introduced with enough detail to help this story along whilst leaving enough still to discover in subsequent books.
I look forward to discovering more.

Okay
I did listen to the whole of this and on the whole quite enjoyed it but I wouldn't rate it as highly as other books I have listened to.

a bit like a made for TV moviie
struggled with this book. couldn't connect with the characters or their motivations. they just seemed shallow and the accent just made everything seem silly and trite. it passed the time but if it had been a movie on TV, I'd have switched off.

Explicit, gruesome and captivating!
So many amazing writing techniques…the characters- their behaviour and feelings are written so well and carefully considered.
The explicit and gruesome descriptions are enough to disturb slightly but make you want to listen on.
An excellent and gripping crime thriller!
