Wow! Thanks Goodreads friends for recommending this fine mystery. Will Trent is my new favorite. Sorry Jackson Brodie. A shout-out to PiirateSteve who wrote a very nice poem about the 3rd book in the series, which sent me on a quest for the first.I enjoyed this even more than the first time, as I was in on all Slaughter's slight of hand. She left so many clues, so many bread crumbs, along the way, but I was too obtuse to pick them up. Tricky, tricky writer!

Book Blog | BookstagramIf anything ever called for a Space Jam gif it's this review.Ummmm, so yeah I liked this. Like, a lot. I'm not drooling all over myself like I did for Pretty Girls (the first Karin Slaughter novel I'd ever read, excuse me, I'm so sorry) but I'm definitely feeling like a Serbian who just won a gold medal for water polo at the Summer Olympics. And I know how this might feel because that's exactly what I'm watching while I type this. And let me tell you, they are definitely e...

3.5 StarsThe beginning of this book was absolutely brilliant. It's hard to explain without ruining it for someone who hasn't read it yet, but the way Slaughter set the tone and your beliefs regarding certain characters and then turned them on their heads was seriously awesome. I have never read a book where the author managed that in quite that way. This was my first Karin Slaughter book. It was excellently written and the story very layered. It stalled a little bit for me toward the middle mark...

This was another first for me. It was my first crime thriller and my first book by Karin Slaughter. Is Triptych a book I would have picked out for myself? Probably not but that is the beauty of Goodreads. For the last few weeks I have been following by sweet friend Mo’s status updates and review’s for this series and kept toying with the thought of picking this one up and jumping into the series. I worried that it would be too shocking and hideous, a story that wouldn’t appeal to me. There were

“Three canvases hinged together to make one image when it was open, another image when it was closed.”Three perspectives. Three different versions of the same event. When brought together they paint a picture of one sick, sadistic, and dangerous individual. When a homicide detective is called to the scene of a brutal murder, he reflects on his own life. A newly released convicted sex offender and murderer struggles to assimilate. A vice cop is haunted by her past. All three perspectives are put

I will start by saying that Karin Slaughter is a pretty darn good thriller writerI will follow that by saying she goes to some pretty dark and disturbing places. I almost feel bad enjoying her stories as much as I do! But that is the thing with a good escape, it often takes you places you may not normally be comfortable going. You know . . . pushing the limits can be quite a ride!With Triptych, Slaughter starts a new series with protagonist Will Trent. He is a very interesting character that I a...

4.5 stars.A bit gruesome at times but a solid read. Will Trent is a very intriguing character. Look forward to reading more about him. In the city of Atlanta, women are dying—at the hands of a killer who signs his work with a single, chilling act of mutilation. Leaving behind enough evidence to fuel a frenzied police hunt, this cunning madman is bringing together dozens of lives, crossing the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries too...

Hmm. This is quite good. Will Trent is not your typical protagonist but I didn’t like him. He was really interesting in the beginning but half way through the book, his character kind of faltered for me. As for Angie, I wanted to pummel the crap out of her most of the time. Geez. Please tell me she’s not gonna be in the next book! I can’t stand her.Once again, Karin Slaughter had me. She is just too good! The way she set everything up for a big surprise is just impressive. Oh my, how the twists

Things moved a bit slowly in the first few chapters that I almost lost my interest in them several times. Fortunately, after the 20% mark, the pace picked up and around halfway through the story, I found myself drawn into this murder investigation in such a way that I had a hard time putting it down. But sadly, there was something I didn't like in the latter part of the book which sort of ruined my enjoyment from the previous chapters.I must admit I had high hopes for this series as I've heard m...

This book is so Addicting!! I just could not put it down. It was amazing. I am so happy it is the first book in the series. That's why I love reading series, because it takes awhile for it to end. I don't know why it took me so long to actually open up this book. I now am going to the library and I am going to get the second and third book, and I already have the fourth book. This book was so suspenseful, I love a good thriller and its a good mystery also. I really want more of Will Trent,Nobody...

This is the first in Karin Slaughter's Will Trent series and the first book I've read of hers. We are introduced to Will Trent, a Special Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent, called in to help local police with difficult crimes. Will is a loner and a damaged man, having been abused as a child, his 6'4" body covered in scars. He met his best friend and sometime lover Angie in a State orphanage and she is the only person he lets get close to him. Angie is tough as nails, currently an undercover

Wow!!!! I only wish I could give this book "Triptych" 6 stars as in my opinion this is one hell of a story and definitely my type of book! This is a no holes barred book that is gritty, gruesome, highly addictive and an absolute page turner that I totally devoured in a couple of days. If you are particularly offended by vicious violence or the world of seedy prostitution then this book may not be for you but I thought Karin captured it all perfectly, especially John's time in prison which I was

EDIT: Reread as of December 1, 2015Sometimes, if I'm in a good mood, I believe in second chances. That's why we have rehab because some people need to have another shot. I decided to give Triptych another chance because Hridya said that Michael (the fucktard who I thought was the lead) is not the hero of this book but Will Trent. I should have known this obvious fact because Will Trent's name is the also the name for this series. Sometimes my stupidity astounds me.Anyway, so there I was, rerea
