Review: Undone by Karin Slaughter

Title and Author of book: Undone by Karin Slaughter
Fiction or non-fiction: Fiction
Genre: Best criminal thriller psycho book this year!!!!!
Where did I get the book: My public Library
Challenges that this fulfilled: none, I'm just a big fan.

Who recommended this book to me? From the very first time I read a Slaughter book I was immediately hooked. Anytime something new of hers is to be published I'm first in line!!!

Summarize the plot but don't give away the ending!

Undone brings together, for the first time, the small-town residents of Grant County, Georgia, and the hard-bitten cops of Georgia’s Bureau of Investigation in a relentlessly gripping novel.

Sarah Linton has fled to Atlanta seeking refuge from the terrible act that ripped her life apart in Grant County. But when a tortured young woman becomes a patient in her ER, she’ll find herself deeply ensnared in a case that rips the lid off secrets as dark and complex as they are disturbing. When special agents Will Trent and Faith Mitchell join forces to probe into the life of the victim, these three embark on an investigation that will change all of them forever.


What did you like most about this book? After reading her last Grant County book, I have to admit that I was PISSED at the ending. I screamed, wanted to throw the book against the wall, I couldn't believe that Slaughter would have the nerve to do what she did. She ended up leaving a secret website for her readers in the book so that she could explain herself. After reading that, I understood, didn't make it any easier, but I did understand. So I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this one up. Let me just tell you that she combined her characters from her two series and it was perfection!!! Everything is in this book, smart characters, a fantastic plot, gruesome torture that made my stomach turn, heartbroken, and broken people. There wasn't a misstep anywhere in this novel! I loved it all!!!!

What did you like least? Not a thing, not a thing. I think this is her best one yet!

Have you read any other books by this author? I've read all of her books. They rock!! Slaughter is the real deal. After I became turned off by the same old garbage from Patricia Cornwell, (I mourn the loss of the real Kay Scarpetta that she created in her earlier books) I needed to find an author who could capture me again with a female lead character. Slaughter has done that consistently with each book she puts out. She hasn't sold her soul to be on the NY Times Bestseller list...she's a true artist.


What about the ending? I tried to figure out who the serial killer was and just when I thought I had put all of the pieces together, I was thrown a loop!!! Excellent ending.

So obviously, you can tell I love this author. If you haven't read her books and you like psychological thrillers, she will deliver!!! If you've read her books and haven't gotten to this one yet...GET YOUR TUSH INTO GEAR!!!!
One of the BEST books I've read this year!
