Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
When so many top-selling names in the crime genre have been showing signs of exhaustion lately, it's always refreshing to pick up a new Karin Slaughter and find that her writing is as laser-sharp as ever. Faithless may feature the author’s familiar protagonists (police chief Jeffrey Tolliver and medical examiner Sara Linton) but Slaughter consistently finds new challenges for her characters, along with new facets of their ever-fluid relationship.

Those weaned on the grisly delights of such Slaughter outings as Blindsighted and Kisscut will know what to expect. And if the novel starts a tad implausibly (Tolliver and Linton, walking in the woods, come across the corpse of a young woman--what are the odds against that?), we're more than prepared to forgive Slaughter this device, when the ever-tightening grip of the narrative takes hold. The duo looks at the evidence, and concludes that the young girl has been literally frightened to death. But during the course of an autopsy, Sara makes a startling discovery--one that gives even the unshockable pathologist pause. She and Tolliver find that there is a trail of evidence leading to a secluded community in the next county, and decide to call in talented detective Lena Adams to aid them. But as the trio draw nearer to the heart of a grim mystery, a destabilising element threatens to undercut their work: Lena’s increasing instability.

While there is nothing particularly groundbreaking in this latest outing for Slaughter, all the customary skills are firmly in place. A particular achievement (as so often with this author) is the faultless pacing of the narrative: the slow, steady accruing of detail has the reader on the point of impatience, when a brilliantly orchestrated set piece will be delivered. Perhaps Karin Slaughter's run of luck will come to an end at some point--but not with this book. --Barry Forshaw

Review
" 'Don't read this alone, Don't read this after dark, But do read it' - Mirror. 'This gripping debut novel - is likely to have Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs glancing nervously in their rearview mirrors' - Irish Independent. 'A great read - crime fiction at its finest' - Michael Connelly"

4.0 out of 5 stars Faithless, 4 Jun 2006
By Dr. Babus Ahmed "Ajooba Cats" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Faithless (Paperback)
I enjoy reading Karin Slaughter and wait impatiently for her books. This book is not quite as good as the first 3, which had me up all night to finish them. Still a good read, but I have to concede some characters seem to have lost their way. Not recommended as the first book you should read from Ms Slaughter try Kisscut, Indelible or A faint Cold Fear first (preferably in order). Will still wait impatiently for the next one though, the gal knows how to write!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet, 27 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This is an absolutely brilliant book - edge of the seat stuff.
The Grant County series has just got better and better with each book - however.....because so many loose ends relating to the characters seem to have been sewn up and a stand alone book is next from Slaughter, I fear this may be the end of these particular characters. I am certain, however, that her next book or series will be just as good - she is such a marvellous writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't ask for more, 15 Sep 2005
By A Customer
A terrific novel. An edge of your seat thrill ride that is chock full of suspense and mystery. This is a must read for crime genre fans. Aso check out David Demello's The Killing Game.
