Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter is a 2015 Harper publication. This is the first book in the Grant County series, which was originally published way back in 2002. I have read this book before, a long time ago, before Goodreads had even launched. However, I decided to start the Grant County series over, despite having read a few of them already. It’s a long story, but basically, I got some of the Grant County books mixed up with the Will Trent series, which caused a great deal of confusion, for me...
I don’t find myself in this situation often enough, attempting to put my thoughts on display for a book—and series—that I’ve not only adored for years, but read countless times. Let’s be honest rereads have been an infrequent occurrence in my world. My best guess at the number of trips I’ve made to Grant County over the years though, six? Yeah, I’m going with six, at least. While I was the furthest thing from blindsided, I remembered about 98.99% of the plot going in, I still relished every sing...
Blindsighted: Karin Slaughter's first Sara Linton novelAnd the publishers announce:First there was Patricia Cornwell! THEN there was Kathy Reichs! NOW GET READY FOR KARIN SLAUGHTER! Karin SlaughterWelcome to Grant County, Georgia. Don't look for it on a Georgia map. It isn't there. And in this fictional County, there's a fictional town. It's a small town called Heartsdale, somewhere around Madison, but before you hit Augusta.Eddie Linton and Daughters is a plumbing company in town. But
This is Ms Slaughter's debut novel so maybe I should cut her some slack. I don't know what it was about it that just did not grab me. Thought the main characters were quite uninspiring and boring. There was no romance as such in the book. Some of the scenes were quite gruesome. A bit OTT and I thought she was trying to "shock" readers too much.My main reason for starting this series is that one of the characters, Sara Linton, appears in the Will Trent series, which I was enjoying very much.Might...
"Blindsighted" by Karin Slaughter, is the first book in the Grant County Series. If you love reading gritty suspense thrillers, you really must give Karin Slaughter a try. Karin Slaughter books are not for the faint of heart. Being a avid reader of mystery/suspense thrillers, this is the most graphic book I have read in this category. The Forensics, the police work, etc are all exceptionally well done, and her characters are involving.A small Georgia town erupts in panic when a young college pro...
Oh Karin Slaughter! What a name to your legacy. Perfect name for the panic and horrid imagery you provoke in the reader. For sensitive people there is rape, sodomy, brutality, racism, religious text in the killings.... She is not for everyone. I have started working my way backward in this series. It is all starting to make sense, although her books are good enough to be standalones. I like and dislike Lena at the same time. I want Jeffery and Sarah to be together again!! It's complicated people...
Simply amazing, that this was Karin Slaughters' debut 16 years ago!!! If it weren't for my friend Christine recommending this to me I may have overlooked it altogether. Thank you, Christine! Now I understand why this author has the following she does (including myself). In case you're wondering, I will be binge reading the rest of the 'Grant County" series then on to 'Will Trent'.
Gritty and compelling in the way Karin Slaughter does best!A small Georgia town erupts in panic when a young college professor is found brutally murdered. Sara Linton, the towns paediatrician and part time coroner holds the key to finding the one responsible. ✨This is the first book in the Grant County series and what a start it was 😍 I liked that it is a well rounded book and you don’t necessarily have to pick the next one to find out what happens. I did struggle with keeping up with the whole
