I was given this book by Net galley for an honest review. I really liked this book. It pulled me right in and I couldn't put it down. Kate and Maggie are 2 police officers in the 1970's. There are a lot of prejudices that they have to deal with. I have read a lot of Karin Slaughters books and Cop Town is different than any of her other books. Cop Town is now one of my favorite books by her.

A little different than her other novels, but I liked the flashback set up.

A good solid book. I liked the story line and Kate and Maggie. I found much of it depressing to listen to. 1974 and how women were treated, as second class citizens. It takes a very strong woman to decide they want to be a cop when they first started letting women in. A lot of depressing things in the book, but a good story line. Would love to see more books about Kate and Maggie.
I swear I was not going to read any more of Ms. Slaughter's work. I was too emotionally invested in her characters and she would twist the knife (literally in some cases) and damage and destroy some of my favorites. But I can't quit her. Cop Town is fantastic. It's uncomfortable, gritty and real. The challenges of the 70s in police work are fascinating. Once again the characters grab you and are fully realized in just a few pages...and then you begin to worry about them. I was glad to see her publish a stand-alone but by the time I finished reading, I really hope that it will be the beginning of a new series.
