The Silent Wife
by Karin Slaughter
Karin Slaughter pulls out all of the stops in her next book in the Will Trent series. This fast-paced book focuses on tracking down a serial killer targeting women. The MO is the same as a rapist locked up years ago, so Will Trent must work harder than ever to find the connection and the killer before any more women are attacked.
As Will gets deeper into the investigation, the man in prison points to Jeffrey Tolliver. Will Trent is Sara Linton's boyfriend. Sara was married to Jeffrey Tolliver, and as turbulent as their marriage was, Sara would still be with him now had he not been murdered. However, it is five years later and Will and Sara are going strong. For the man in prison to try and finger Jeffrey for the previous rapes is nothing less that disturbing for both Sara and Will.
This no doubt shakes whatever balance Sara and Will have right to the core. Long-held secrets come to play and the book then shifts to the past from years previously when Jeffrey and Sara found one another. Back in the present, the story deals with Will, Sara and Will's partner Faith facing a race against time to stop the current murders, all while striving to protect Jeffrey's memory.
This book is certainly not an easy read, although it is thoroughly compelling. In the last book of the Grant County series, Jeffrey died a hero. So with his name being tied to previous rapes brings in an incredible amount of angst. Meanwhile, the story also has another pivotal character, and that is Lena Adams. She was in the first series as a cop who worked for Jeffrey, but who had taken quite a turn.
Let me suggest that you read ALL of these books in order, from the very first book in the Grant County series, Blindsighted, all the way through Undone, and then beginning this series with Tryptich, through this book, The Silent Wife. It is an excellent investment in time, as the back stories in this series are critical to truly appreciating this most current book.
I do not know if or when there will be another book in this series, but I certainly hope so. The series are spectacular and I believe every reader of this genre needs to put every single one of these books on their radar.
Many thanks to William Morrow and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
