Summary:
The victim was buried alive in the Georgia woods – then killed in a horrifying fashion. When Sara Linton and Jeffrey Tolliver stumble upon the body, both become consumed with finding out who killed the pretty young woman. For them, a harrowing journey begins, one that will test their own turbulent relationship and draw dozens of life into the case.
For as Jeffrey and Sara move further down a trail of shocking surprises and hidden passions, neither is prepared for the most stunning discovery of all: the identity of a killer who is more evil and dangerous than anyone could have guessed.
My thoughts:
This is the 5th book in Karin Slaughter’s Grant County series and I am so glad I have taken the time to go back and read this series before tackling her Will Trent series. It is so good!
This one deals with one of my favorite tropes in crime fiction – that of religious cults – and boy did this one get under my skin! It also got into insurance fraud and really had me on the edge of my seat wondering how things were going to wind up as far as the missing girls went. And then there’s the story with Lena and her boyfriend…I really felt that we saw a lot of character development with Lena in this book. Because of all that she is going through, she was the perfect person to get one of the people at the farm to talk. I love seeing her in action but let me just say, things really take a turn towards the end and that ending has me itching to pick up the next book pronto, which is the final book in this series! And then I’ll be diving straight into the Will Trent series. I love having all those books to look forward to!
Audio thoughts:
I was so disappointed to see that there was a different narrator for this book after having Kathleen Early narrator the previous installments. Not that Clarinda Ross did a bad job, but I was just used to someone else voicing these characters. Of course, that didn’t stop me from listening to this one and I did end up enjoying this audio book. It will be interesting to see who narrates the next book – I haven’t looked just yet.
