Atlanta’s queen crime writer, Karin Slaughter is back with her famous character, Will Trent with BUSTED, (#6.5 Will Trent Series) a novella and prequel to her novel, UNSEEN. (I love Novellas)!
Detective Will Trent is an undercover cop as the ex-con Bill Black with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and is about to zoom in on the most corrupt town in the South—Macon, GA (definite good ole boys).
Readers will meet some crazy characters as an introduction to upcoming UNSEEN. Maw-Maw, a bigot and as quirky and evil as they come, a Lil-Dixie Gas-n-Go, a frozen Slurpee, an armed robbery, a motorcycle, lots of humorous one liners, wise cracks, sarcasm, and as always, action packed! Readers meet Amanda, Trent’s boss (love her in the other books too), and his partner, Faith as they investigate this corrupt town south of Atlanta.
I listened to the audiobook version narrated by Kathleen Early, and again an outstanding job, and would highly recommend UNSEEN, as well.
Be sure and read Slaughter’s latest, COP TOWN, as was my first read by Karin, and working my way back to read her previous books in the Will Trent series. (Yes, I am jumping all over the board); however, keeping up with the players!

I read this when it came out in 2013. It's a novella, but a great story. All of Karin Slaughter's books are outstanding and really should be read in order...even these lead in's to the upcoming book. They all give a back story to the continuing story. I have to read them again and I've started, but I'm doing them a little at a time...I like to drag the good books out!

Brilliant short novel well worth checking out. Has a story that is linked to Unseen but you can read it before or after.

This was classic Slaughter gold. Really enjoyed this short story about Will Trent. Cannot wait to read the series over. I have a real fondness for anything by this author. Can't recommend her enough if you like gritty hardcore thrillers.

Action packed and a nice legal twist to end this fast paced short story.
