Undone

In Karin Slaughter's Undone, the third installment in the Will Trent thriller series, this compelling case is so twisted and shocking, that it would knock your own socks off. It started with a car accident, when a body was found at the scene. That's when GBI Investigators Faith Mitchell and Will Trent to the scene. From there, they start to talk to the victim and find out what was special about her to make her a target. Then, they learned that another victim was taken and died trying to escape by hanging from the tree. From there, it became more complex, when they tried to connect the dots by the time two more people had been abducted. For both Will and Faith, they both lead complex lives as well--Faith pregnant with her second child and now a diabetic, Will going through a tumultuous relationship with his wife Angie. Enter Sara Linton, a widow and a former coroner, who helped shed some interesting light into this case. By the time it had gotten more twisted and warped, when they find the underlying connection between them all, it's literally more shocking at the ending of how and when it started in the first place.

This was another gripping and fascinating thriller from start to finish. I instantly cared for Sara Linton, who had been through so much, and might be a central and pivotal character later in the series. I also cared about both Will and Faith, who became an invisible partnership for the GBI, and dealing with some issues of their own. I loved the central Georgia location and the riveting scenic settings from the cavern prison and to the GBI headquarters. This would leave you feeling cold and numb and shake your head a few times with some muttered cursed breaths with non-stop action, drama, intrigue and a whole lot of mystery.

Will you come undone and unraveled to solve this chilling mystery?

Beyond Reach

This is a powerful thriller by Karin Slaughter. This is the sixth book in the Grant county series, though I'm reading the series out of order. In Beyond Reach, When Detective Lena Adams ends up in trouble, it's up to her boss, Chief Jeffrey Tolliver and his wife, Sara Linton, to come to her rescue. Not knowingly, she's entwined into a mess of corrupt cops and small town lies in a small Georgia Town. Even for Lena, she discovers the truth on her twin sister and her mother. With every twist and turn, there's a shocking twist in the end. What a powerful read.
