vampire82 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, just finished reading this book and thought it was brilliant. i have read all of Karin Slaughters books and this is a standalone story compared to the others which were part of a very disturbing series!!! This book kept me gripped throughout, and i couldnt believe the change of story in the second part as it was just the best twist at the end. (will not ruin for everyone else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I loved this one to. Enjoyed that it was not a Grant County one and yet I knew that characters and sympathised with them all. Very clver too, not an average run of the mill thriller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have finished this today, and agree to the general opinion that this book is great. It is a fast paced thriller, with a clever plot, and a nice twist which leaves you breathless. Karin Slaughter has certainly become one of the best thriller writers of the moment. I loved this stand alone - sometimes reading about the same characters in one book after another can get a bit too predictable - you already know the good/bad characteristics, and there is not much room for discovery. BCF readers who love thrillers should get hold of this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Princess Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I love Karin Slaughter too, her books are just so engrossing. I'm about half way through her new one, Fractured, which is based in Atlanta again with Will Trent rather than Grant County. Quite enjoying it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi there. I'm new here and was just wondering - I'm currently reading Karin Slaughter's Indelible and have got about half way through but find myself loosing interest! I've already read Blindsighted, Kisscut and A Faint Cold Fear which i thoroughly enjoyed but with this one i just cant seem to get into it as good. I've got to the point where Jeffrey and Sara have discovered his mate has shot some guy and it seems Jeffrey is hiding something. Does it get better or should i just skip to her next one?

LaineyW Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 This is the first time I've posted on this site. Had to start by saying that I too love Karin Slaughter's writing. I enjoy how her characters draw you into their own stories, without detracting from the great plot lines. I do have to say, though,I was slightly 'upset' and shocked at how Skin Privilege ended. I won't give anything away but I hope some other of her avid readers agree with me?? I'm looking forward to reading her latest addition to the Atlanta series 'Fractured'..when I get the chance!

BrainFreeze Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I was another who was very sad at the end of Skin Privilege. I'm wondering what direction the next book in the series will take (apparently Karin Slaughter has said there will be another.) I'm also glad she's built on Triptych and gone with Fractured and hopefully there'll be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaineyW Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I noticed yesterday that there's a short story by Karin Slaughter called Martin Misunderstood. I'm going to try and get hold of a copy. Has anyone else read it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister.g Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The next Grant county book (according to the oracle that is Wikipedia) will be called Genesis and is due out this year. After the skin priviledge ending it'll definitely be interesting to see how the series develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle1106 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This book is on its way to me now. Hopefully, it should be here tomorrow and I can start reading it soon. Really looking forward to it as the comments on here have intrigued me. I've read a few of the Grant County books and always enjoyed them so I'm sure this will be no different.

Charm Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've read all of Karin Slaughter's Grant County series up to Skin Privilage and its on my bookshelf waiting patiently TBR along with Tryptich! I've liked them all so far and hope these to live up to the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
