Summary

When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene at the notorious Grady Homes, he finds himself faced with one of the the most brutal killings of his career: Aleesha Monroe is found in the stairwell in a pool of her own blood, her body horribly mutilated. As a one-off killing it's shocking, but when it becomes clear that it's just the latest in a series of similar attacks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are called in, and Ormewood is forced into working with Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Apprehension Team, a man he instinctively dislikes.

But then, only 24 hours later, the violence Michael sees around him every day explodes in his own back yard. And it seems the mystery behind Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried.

Critic reviews

"Rape, murder and mutilation ¿ and that¿s just the beginning of Karen Slaughter¿s Triptych, a standalone thriller from the author of the Grant County series of bestsellers. Here she¿s in even more chilling form as Michael Ormewood, an Atlanta police detective investigate the brutal slaying of Aleesha Moore. The reader, Brian Keith Lewis, is excellent." ( Daily Express)
"Don't read this alone. Don't read this after dark. But do read it" ( Mirror)

Well read, less well developed

The narrator does a great job, but cannot quite make up for a storyline that starts very well, holds up for the first third but then does not deliver on the initial promise. The Will / Faith relationship has really deep possibilities yet just when it could be exploited and mined it gets very superficial and shallow. Shall I read the next in rhe series ? Jury is out .

Story ok

It was an ok story albeit predictable. I didn’t enjoy the performance. It was a bit broken, too many pauses.

Awful pacing

Great plot and interesting characters but the pacing was so abysmal that I was relieved when it was over.

Great story although I wish it was the full novel and not a shortened version. Would still recommend. Love all Karin Slaughter books. Great series

I loved this book - whilst Will was in the background you knew his presence there would help John

1st time listening

loved it. The narrator's voice didn't at any point irritate me like some. It's a good read whether you listen or physically read the book.
