melanie_dc 's review for:

Cop Town by Karin Slaughter

2.0

---

I love Karin Slaughter, but this was not one of my faves. It was so incredibly grim and depressing throughout. Set in 1970s Atlanta, two female police officers are among those trying to figure out who the serial killer is killing cops. The police force is so incredibly sexist, racist and homophobic, and the book is filled with slurs. The female officers are physically and verbally assaulted and sexually harassed by the male cops every day, and it just depressed the hell out of me. This was not the usual fun read of a psychological thriller (yes, they can be fun to read).
