The catch-up didn’t happen quite as quickly as I’d hoped, but anyways… To be honest, I’d never heard of Karin Slaughter - but what an excellent name for an author who writes about people being murdered etc!! The book was cheap, hence me buying it having never heard of the author before… It’s actually been a [...]

Slaughter, Karin. Blindsighted. New York: HarperTorch, 2002. 389pp. Slaughter, Karin. Beyond reach. New York: Dell, 2008. 573pp . I don't have too much to say about the two books at hand, both by the aptly-named Karin Slaughter. Blindsighted is a fairly typical serial killer novel while Beyond Reach is a fairly typical crime thriller. Although they don't necessarily have high body counts, the violence...

The results are a richly [...]

This is a difficult book to review because the whole book is a “spoiler” for the rest of the series that precedes it! Therefore I will try to focus on generalities so as not to spoil your fun if you go after Karin Slaughter’s backlist. (This book can, however, be read as a [...]

Karin Slaughter’s Skin Privilege (Beyond Reach in the US), sixth in the Grant county series featuring Sarah Linton, ended with a shock. The author followed the book with Fractured, set in the same state but about different characters – mainly Special Agent Will Trent and police detective Faith Mitchell. Slaughter’s latest novel, Genesis (Publisher: Century; US title, Undone) combines...
