Very graphic thriller highlighting the lives of two female cops; one on the force for a year and coming from a cop family, and the other a brand new rookie from a Jewish family. The setting, 1975 Atlanta, is a study in racism, segregation, male dominance and violence within the police department. Sounds like it could be the beginning of another series with Maggie and Kate showing the good 'ol boys that they better make way for the new order.
This was a brutal read, but it had me on the edge of my seat.
Weinig gruwelijke moorden maar wel echte Slaughter twists met wat humor. Ik moest de hele tijd aan de Village People denken ;)
Stand alone novel; really enjoyed this. Different to her usual writing style but very enjoyable.

I didn't love this one, I love her writing and the characters are deep and well developed but this one just didn't draw me in. Still excited to read more by Karin Slaughter.

Fascinating. It's a whole different world out there/back then. 1970s Atlanta, and two female police officers are fighting not just crime and those who commit crime, but those who are nominally colleagues and support. Nice gritty shades of grey in the characterisation, also, it's not all good versus bad and never the twain shall meet.
This was a nice, fun read. It's dark and has "gruesome" scenes but shouldn't be surprising if you know Karin Slaughter.
*I have an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review*
I wanted to rate this lower because of the male characters & their disgusting attitude, but this book is well written & the attitude is in a fitting context. There were some well done surprises at the end that really shaped this book.
My first Karin Slaughter book, but not my last.
