About this listen
Gillian Flynn says, "Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today."
An apparent student suicide has brought medical examiner Sara Linton to the local college campus, along with her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver. But a horribly mutilated corpse yields up few answers. And a suspicious rash of subsequent "suicides" suggests that a different kind of terror is stalking the youth of Heartsdale, Georgia - a nightmare that is coming to prey on Sara Linton's loved ones.
A small town is being transformed into a killing ground. And the key to a sadistic murderer's motive and identity may be held in the unsteady hands of a campus security guard - a former police detective driven from the force by the hellish memories that will never leave her. Lena Adams survived the unthinkable and has paid a devastating price. Now the survival of future victims may depend upon her - when she can barely protect herself.

Before the day has barely begun, she already suspects she's not cut out to be a cop.

Worse still, in the ensuing manhunt she'll be partnered with Maggie Lawson, a cop with her own ax to grind.

Kathleen Early is phenomenal again.
Kathleen Earlys performance is flawless yet again, making it easy to listen to even the painfully cheesy parts of this novel.
I enjoyed the story but the characters are becoming a bit repetitive. Sarah is a perfect example of someone who thinks they are a lot smarter than they actually are. Jeffrey is as toxic and unlikeable as ever. And wtf Lena, a neo-nazi? C'mon.
Not her best work, but a solid instalment for the Grant series.

Well written, but offensive & hate Jeffery
I got into Katherine Slaughter later on, from around 2016 onward and going back to her older stuff is starting to ruin her a bit for me. Although her debut novel Blind Sided aged pretty well, the second and third books in the series (this is the third) didn't. I know all of these books are copaganda but like, she doesn't have to lean so hard into it - i need enough suspension to forget that I am listening to a narrative about state sanctioned murders. This book in particular in really sexist (a lot of anti abortion stuff too, same in book two) and homophobic. It's also trite in its homophobia, and the sexism extends to Jeffery's character a lot and his relationship to Sarah. Jeffery is actually the absolute worst and not someone to route for whatsoever. The book is well written - girl can write - but it just highlights how performative her later books are, and that's a drag.
