Multiple POVs; set in the 70’s, so tons of racist, sexist, and homophobic comments which could be tough to read but it was clear that it was simply relevant to and necessary for the setting; definitely very vulgar; so many awful characters but also some strong FMCs; perfect pacing and so well-written; action-packed, tension-filled, and addictive
Wow, another great read from Karin Slaughter. The 1970's was a fantastic setting for this gritty cop novel. The prevailing attitudes and culture of the time were very integral to the story. I loved the well-developed characters and fast-paced storytelling.

COPTOWN is a plot forward thriller novel. It's about cops, but it's not copaganda. The characters in this book are awful. I suppose it's hard to expect more from them in 1974. The book is loaded with racism and sexism. It's full of violence and hate crimes.
The pacing was great and pulled me through the story. I burned through it.
I liked it, but it had some real tough moments.
