About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Discover the first novel in the gripping Will Trent series, from the Sunday Times bestselling crime and thriller author.

Now a major TV Series on Disney+

When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene, he finds himself faced with one of the most brutal murders of his career.

As a one-off killing it is shocking, but it soon becomes clear Aleesha Monroe is just the latest victim in a series of similar attacks.

Twenty-four hours later, the violence Michael sees every day explodes in his own back yard.

And it seems the mystery surrounding Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried...

Critic reviews

An explosive thriller with plenty of twists - this is criminally spectacular
Triptych is structured and paced brilliantly; the tension is unceasing throughout
Without doubt an accomplished, compelling and complex tale, with page-turning power aplenty
The writing is lean and mean, and the climax will blow you away
Gripping, gruesome and definitely not for the faint-hearted
Slaughter deftly turns all assumptions on their head ... Her ability to make you buy into one reality, then another, means that the surprises - and the violent scenes - keep coming
All stars

I have read this book before loved it and decided to revisit this series before starting the next one but this audio version is missing huge chunks of the story and therefore made it boring.

Bokk version is better!

Would you listen to Triptych again? Why?

I had already read this book (and most of Karin Slaughter's back catalogue) but my husband wanted a good audiobook so I suggested we start at the beginning! I love the Will Trent series and will happily listen to all of these books more than once. Slaughter's books never hang around, you never feel like they are slow-paced or slow-burners, she hooks you right from the start. The characters are enjoyable and every story is an easy, enjoyable read/listen. Thankfully the narrator was good and didn't have an irritating voice, good performance all round. Would thoroughly recommend, although this is probably my least favourite of Slaughter's books it still kicks the pants off of most other crime writers.

Can't go wrong with Karin Slaughter!

Good book and I can't wait to read the next one . I'm not sure if i really enjoyed it. Narration was good but something was missing and not sure what it was.

Good

It was an ok story albeit predictable. I didn’t enjoy the performance. It was a bit broken, too many pauses.

Story ok

The story was good but really confusing, as 6+ hours cut from the un-abridged version. The 2 abridged books should be in audible plus as they miss vital parts of the background of the characters.

Would have preferred un-abridged version
