Re-read 5/30/204 in preparation for the release of <i>That is Why We Lied</>: It's been long enough that I didn't remember all the details, and it was just as enjoyable the second time through.

This is the first in a series of police/crime drama novels featuring Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) detective Will Trent. Trent comes from a rough past growing up in the systems and being abused by those who are supposed to be caring for him. He also suffers from dyslexia that went undiagnosed as a child and that he refuses to get treated now for fear of repercussions at his job and pride.
Will gets called into assist Atlanta PD on the brutal rape and murder of a prostitute in Atlanta's version of the projects. He is brought in due to similarities to several other of his cases the main one being all the girls have had their tongues removed - primarily by being bitten off. But Will's vicitms all survived and were children. Jump to John Shelley, a convicted felon for rape and murder of a classmate at 16, and his past. How is he connected to this new string of cases and are the aligning factors just a coincidence?
Slaughter weaves an interconnecting tale that keeps you in suspense and spinning trying to figure out what you think you know. With a slightly slow start it quickly picks up pace and has you engaged and guessing trying to piece together how everything and everyone are connected.
