Karin Slaughter
—————————————————————————————
“In the city of Atlanta, young 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 disparate lives. And in this electrifying new novel, New York Times bestseller Karin Slaughter plunges us into their midst … as investigators, bystanders, and one very guilty man become part of a harrowing, unpredictable drama – and the shocking truths it will expose.
From Atlanta’s wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread – and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael’s lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer’s trail in the most coincidental of ways – and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open."

Because of Eslite Bookstore’s annual reading project – one book every month, 23 % off – I first bought Karin Slaughter’s book Blindsighted, the first book of Grant County series. I actually started the book, did some researches about this series, and realized that I will not like the ending of this series. However, I really like to try her other books, so I chose the Will Trent series. Fortunately, I could find the first book Triptych at the library. I decided to give it a try.
Actually, I don’t like this kind of topic which a man, like John Shelley, was set up and put behind bars for a crime which he didn’t commit. I also don’t like the relationships between Will Trent and Angie Polaski. For a woman with traumatic past, I like Eve Dallas in In Death series much, much better than I like Angie Polaski. That’s why I am collecting the In Death series, but prefer to keeping looking for the other books of the Will Trent series in the library. I think I will give Angie Polaski another chance. Haha.
However, I will not check out any English books from the library for some time, because I have a big heap of English books at home. I want to finish reading them first.
