Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Karin Slaughter’s new book, Fallen, begins shockingly, with Special Agent Faith Mitchell of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation finding her life abruptly plunged into chaos. Her mother has been charged with looking after Faith’s child, Emma, but Faith comes home to discover her baby locked in a shed. In the house, a safe is open, a gun missing, and Faith encounters a grim blood-covered scene, with a man lying dead. And there are two intruders: more death swiftly follows. Questions are plentiful: what were the killers seeking? What does the carnage have to do with the investigation of Ex-Atlanta Police chief Evelyn Mitchell, being undertaken by Faith’s partner Will Trent? And where is her missing mother?
Karen Slaughter is a bestselling American author with a dedicated following. She is the celebrated creator of such kinetic crime fiction novels as Blindsighted and Kisscut, and is streets ahead of her rivals in the fine art of chilling the blood. What's more, she is clearly determined that each successive book should build upon the innovations of its predecessor, as her latest once again demonstrates. No doubt the fast-moving Fallen will not be appreciated by those who like their crime fiction more sedate and comforting. But those of us not sharing those views (and with a taste for stronger fare) are in for the usual pulse-increasing ride in the company of up-against-it Special Agent Faith Mitchell. Given that Slaughter is a prolific writer, it is a mark of her skill that there is no sign of her narrative skills showing the slightest sign of exhaustion. --Barry Forshaw

Finally,

This review is from: Fallen (Kindle Edition)
The word "finally" best sums up this book and I won't go too much into the plot because everyone can read the book description above and to add more would spoil it.Neadless to stay I read the book in one go ignoring family and the world around me. I loved this book though because for the first time I felt like Karin Slaughter really fused the characters from the Grant series and Atlanta series. I love the realism some of the situations described, they would be exactly like most people would behave... rather than they would like to react. Also this is the first book that I found myself re-reading a couple of weeks after, I just couldn't get enough. Brilliant story, gripping plot and as always will have you hanging on the edge of your seat... so now it's back to a yearly wait for me until I can delve into the world of Sara, Will, Faith etc. Looking forward to it already. I originally ordered the paper version but as I was out of the country on holiday I ordered the Kindle book. Arrived in seconds. Well done to Karin Slaughter and well done to Amazon.

Cracking Slaughter,
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog "Falcata T... - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Fallen (Hardcover)
I love a good crime story and for me there's some authors that I can usually take their name as a sign of quality. One such is Karin Slaughter whose strong emotionally charged characters have a depth of realism about them that few other authors can match. Add to this a high octane full speed ahead plotline that doesn't allow much time to breathe, a great sense of prose and of course the authors deliciously wicked sense of snark to help bring the whole thing together.For me, this is one of Karin's best books to date and is one that, if you haven't already embarked on an adventure with her before, that I will be highly recommending to old and new readers alike. Finally work into the mix an author who plays for keeps and a surprise or two that you don't see coming and it's a book that was hard to let go of.

This review is from: Fallen (Hardcover)
As usual another brilliant book from Karin which includes all the main characters from both the Grant County and Atlanta series.I was gripped from the first page and read this in just over a day, as usual I am left wanting more. Already looking forward to the next book, get writing Karin.
