Cop Town
by Karin Slaughter
I so loved this standalone from Slaughter! I hadn’t realized it took place entirely in 1974 so I thoroughly detested all the characters and the blatant racism/sexism/bigotry which was too commonplace then (and especially so in the South) but, truly, I think she wrote it well and delved into a couple of the characters— Kate Murphy in particular— enough to warrant the crass behavior as a way to emphasize the story and the mystery behind The Atlanta Shooter.
As always she had her mastery of gritty writing on full display and her ability to flesh out real people. The background on Kate’s family (her husband and her mother & grandmother’s trials in Europe) came at the right time when I was so hating the force and was desperately in need of some humanity (and top notch storytelling). I should not have doubted her. Such a great read.
