Cop Town by Karin Slaughter

3.0

---

3 1/2 stars. Honestly, I was so distracted. Y the awfulness and crassness of the old-timer (male) cops in this story that it was hard to pay enough attention to everything. I had a running mantra in my head saying "man that would be a shitty time to be a female cop." The whole environment seemed toxic. The random sex scenes seemed completely unnecessary and didn't add anything. I was thoroughly distracted by how much of an awful person uncle Terry was, as well as his friends. How they were pretty awful workers too, getting drunk on the job, driving drunk. Was that really how things were back then???
