kenpaul 's review for:
The Silent Wife
by Karin Slaughter
This was a tough one to rate. So, first off, let me say that many of Karin Slaughter's novels have been some of my favorites (The Good Daughter, Pieces of Her, Fractured, Undone, Broken). The last 2 Wil Trent books though have been tough. I think I would've quit reading this one had she not been the author and I thought it would rally with a good finish. It did but it seemed very familiar to a different book in the series to me. The first half read more like a romance novel than a mystery and that's the fine line here. I always praised her books for character as much as crime but she has gone too far over the edge. Will and Sara are down right sickening in their sappy relationship and where was Betty the dog? Just too much deep, romantic thoughts for me and then it seems like she needs to make up for it with more Grisly details in her crime and autopsy descriptions. I've read all 10 of the Trent books and am happy to be done with them for awhile.
